Wheat huh? How many acres are you going to be planting in it?

Roughly 0.000275 acres - a 3x4' block of a variety called Hartland that I need some new seed from

i turned off notifications a long time ago because it's just too much. i leave alerts on for followups and likes because i'm a vain creature that ways and want to reap the harvest of that for me own glory and such... haha. just kidding, but it is nice to be loved.

Ukrainian Pole - Small House Farm

10 seeds - rare and unique!

www.smallhousefarm.com

Has anyone grown these? They look LOVELY! A friend of mine has some Ukrainian heritage way back, and he doesn't garden himself but likes when I show up with canned beans. I went looking for some he could connect with and .. wow!

I ordered these and a couple of others from Seed Savers, including one named 'No Named Pole' which I've been eying for years. It has no description other than being donated from Ukraine.

Just FYI, there is a Ukrainian tomato at that link too that looks interesting.

Oh yeah? I didn't see it on the Tomatoes page. There's a lot that show up if you search seed savers for Ukrainian. I once grew a black/purple plum type that had Ukrainian in the names but I don't remember much about it. Personally, I'm excited for 'No name pole (Ukraine)' beans

Sometimes it is misspelled as Ukranian.

trying to figure out what to take to the gardening thing tomorrow. pretty much whatever i can convince myself to load in the car to take. beans, peas, squash, onions, garlic and some flower seeds (cosmos and milkweed <- milkweed only for those who know what it can do and accept that it might spread if they don't contain it).

the beans i am still organizing and thinking it would be fun to get them all out on a big table there so that i can work on them all together at one time. it would be much easier than trying to work in this tiny room. so if nobody shows up i can still accomplish something useful... yeah, that sounds good and that ways i can not spend the rest of the day here trying to deal with all these containers. in the past i've taken everything into the living room and spread them all out on the floor so i can do it that ways. i'm even happier to just spend the rest of today boxing thing back up.

i was in a poor mood the other day and should have done something else and know better, but i was looking at all these white beans i have with various markings and decided to just ditch most of them (eat them).

of course today i looked at that container of all those various beans and said it was silly to get rid of them all so now i have all these seeds and some of them are pretty nice still and will i want to sort them out again or just mix them all together and tell people that they get some fun results, some dry beans and other fresh green beans and some maybe even wax beans too. a small container of this mix would be fun to plant out if you were willing to just go from there and select out what you want and go from there. eat the rest. sure. that's what i do unless they're off in some way, then they end up being worm food.

i have another bag of beans (the Santa Beans that @Bluejay77 sent) to sort too that have a lot more color and interest to me so those will be fun - i've held off even looking at them because i have the above project i need to get done first. hmm... so twofertomorrow. i should be able to get a lot done in a few hours if i have the space.

my mood is much better now.

fun to see Small House Farm cited there as they are the localish (they live near my brother who's about an hour from here) people who support the big seed swap and Bevin (Ben) will be doing a seed saving presentation in early April at our local library. with covid last year and the year before they'd cancelled a previously scheduled event and the big seed swap so it will be fun to be able to attend this presentation and to be able to talk to Bevin in a smaller setting.

Oh, hey, I went and searched SSE's exchange for this spelling and .. found the tomato I mentioned in my last post!

I'd never heard of them but they came up when I went looking for a picture of those beans and they have a nice site!

Got me a jazzy new bean, 'Cerise au Japon'. Round, shiny and red. I'm just hoping when it actually arrives in the mail it won't look like True Red Cranberry..........which I don't need more of. But I did see this bean listed on 1 European seed site so it could be totally different.
