@heirloomgal Wow ! what a nice and professional looking seed display. I don't know when your seedy Saturday is but when it comes hope you do great and have a lot of fun meeting and talking to all your buyers.

It is Sunday afternoon now and I'm back from the Central Indiana Seed Swap. It was a lot of fun and I did well.

Thank you guys so much, your feedback is so appreciated. I'm a bit wobbly at the knees with this upcoming event since I'm so out of practice, and knowing that you're all experienced seed people & seed browsers and approve makes me feel that much more ready to jump in and swim.

when i've done something once i've gotten over the biggest hurdle so doing it again is much much easier.

More neat bean developments Another generous seed saver from the US send me some new beans, one of which has a Canadian name & I've never heard of it, 'Saskatchewan'. A dry bean I think, that's a special one I'm glad to get. Another one called 'Hopi Purple', a landrace type. Package says it comes from High Desert Seeds or something like that. Quite pretty that one. A runner bean labeled 'from Bulgaria' and another one labeled SUF Landrace? 4 colors in 5 seeds. 'Frye's Golden Goose too. He also sent a couple of rare tomatoes (rare here anyway) Talvez, Abu Rawan, and a longkeeper type comedically called 'Yellow Out Red In'. Pretty exciting times!

Priority List for 2025

Hello @Blue-Jay
in case you are not done yet with the planning of the network beans grow-outs, I would like to participate again also this season. I wrote you a p.m. here at this forum in a separate thread last week. Please do let me know, if you can't find it (you probably get looots of mails).

I got a new bean from Prairie Garden seeds (SK) that I’m excited to try. It’s my very first broad/fava bean (Vicia faba)! Apparently you can roast them as use as a coffee substitute.
