Russ's 2025 Big Bean Show Day 26​

Georgia Black & White - Pole Dry. I grew a bunch of Network beans this year. This one produced good size seed and considering the heart of this past summer it did very well. Another one of the Joesph Simcox beans brought over from the country of Georgia.

Georgian - Pole Dry. I removed the pole from it's name on the website and just called it Georgian. It produced fairly well considering the summer and produced a large sized seed. Another Simcox collected bean from the country of Georgia. Nobody grew it before this past summer so I thought I would have a go at it. Large green pods stiped with purple.

So excited, looks like all my beans will arrive tomorrow! I guess given that we just had the snowpocalypse it might be an extra day I guess. Not all the streets are open yet, but I'm hopeful!

We had snow all during the night Sunday and more Monday morning. It looked like the middle of January in March. We got more snow last night. There must be 5 inches (12.7 cm). Last nights snow covered over all the areas that had melted open on the streets and sidewalks. I don't know how the poor Robins that have migrated back live through this.

When you get your bean package let me know what you think about the contents.

Russ's 2025 Big Bean Show Day 27​

Green Savage - Pole Green Snap. People really like this bean or are at least interested in finding out what it's like for themselves. I had to do another grow out in 2025. I'm glad that I got this bean from one of our Pensylvania seed swappers before the grower quit coming to swaps. Bred in Louisiana in the 1940's. I would imagine it puts up with the stresses of high humidity in the Gulf coast area of the U.S. It is widely adapted and grows well in northern climates as well. Very productive, rust resistant with beautiful round straight pods. It is definitely another one of my favorite pole snap beans.

Haricot Crevette - Pole Dry. A very productive dry bean that produces nice quality of seed. I had obtained this bean from a Hobartville, New South Wales, Australia grower in November 2013 and grew it for the first time in 2014. This past summer of 2025 gave me a pound and a half of seed (686 gm) from 8 plants. My grower contact in Australia had gotten this bean from the Australian seed bank and none other than Joseph Simcox was the donor of this bean to that seed bank.

yes, i recall it being reasonably productive for me when i grew it those years ago. too bad it is a pole bean, but i did have extra seeds for a long time and did get some of those given away to other people before i ran out. i don't think i have any here now other than perhaps some of those genes running around in other beans.
