Yes go ahead and post the bean list from that cook book. I think it would be interesting to see if those beans are still around somwhere.

Welcome SusanneinHastings, So nice to see you made it over here. I think you will enjoy this group of bean growers. You will feel like you gained another family.

Hi @beandip79 Welcome to TheEasyGarden. There are some fine communities here. Bean people are the ones I hang out with mostly. I think you probably can find every type of gardening under the sun in all the threads. You are invited to come on over to the Little Easy Bean network. Glad you have...

Some more recent bean mail. This is a beautiful bean I ran across about two weeks ago. From a grower in Pescadaro, California. The grower says the bean is a cross between Anasazi and Rio Zape. I believe it is a pole bean. Anna Zape - Pole Dry

The way this weather has been this month of April. One day like summer the next day like winter again. We could be in for a tricky May. I have planted bush dry beans the first day of July and harvested dry beans from them the same time as bush dry beans planted around the end of May. July is...

Has nothing to do with my tiller width. I am using 48 inch wide weed barrier fabric this year. So I want to have a little open soil so I can also lay down soaker hoses near the plants so the water will go into this narrow channel of open soil and water their root zone. In some past seasons I...

These are beans what William Woys Weaver the food historian wanted me to obtain for him. He tells me that Massey is a bush snap bean and Fine de Villeneuve he says is a pole snap bean. I''m going to grow them out for him and send him the new seed. Whatever they turn out to be is what I will tell...

Will the sun fade those tags to the point where they can't be read. Might not be a bad Idea to do a word processing file and type out your layout of where every variety is planted. I don't put any tags in my bean gardens I have it all down on the word processor text file. Below is a scan of my...

So Guy Dirix post this information on facebook about this bean with the upside down exclamation mark. It is a bush bean from Cusco-Peru , from the gene bank CIAT -Colombia- In 2016. Lieven Decrick from Pepingen-Belgium- noticed this bizarre bean in the lists of CIAT. He obtained seeds and sent...

Sometimes I think patterns and shadings of color in beans just might be endless.

My name and address is on the Package Inventory list. It's also on the sheet that identifies my account. My account number is on the Green/Yellow label so they can look me up on their computer system. Artorious thinks he forgot to put my address label that I print out and include with the...

Some bean mail today from Artorious. So his package went through the USDA inspection routine and was forwarded to me. Artorious thought he didn't even use my return address labele that I sent him last year. So heirloomgals package is I think somewhere. If my chance it got caught in a bin with...

I'm going to guess that the seeds with flattened ends will repeat. You might have two slightly different strains of this bean. Rounded ends and flattened ends. I have gotten this bean too but 4 seeds from Gabriel Hess in Switzerland.

Red Eagle, Red Sport, Crow River Black.

I had a miracle bean also one year also back in 2014. My miracle bean was Armenian Giant Black. A young man from Ohio sent me 5 seeds of AGB. They look poorly formed and were small. I planted all of them around a pole 4 of them emerged from the soil in a little over a week. Within two weeks...
