Hello, I'm getting ready to send you my beans for the year. The Madasgar Lima Beans grew and grew, put on a few pods, but only a few (like 2 or so) grew to maturity. May-be they don't like heat? There were quite a few full size beans with immature (not dry) pods on the plants when we got a...

@Bluejay77, got your seeds - thanks!

Hello, I'd like to try Madagascar, Fisole Rassacher Kipfleer & Greasy Grits. If you trust me after last year's problems (I can't remember which one was a failure), I can try #23. If not, that's okay, too. Thanks!!

@Bluejay77 Zambezi #2 was definitely a climber.

@Bluejay77, Thank goodness! I sure thought it would be there Friday. Everyone is right about the delivery times being slower. The Red Speckled Sugar #24 didn't sprout. The Zambezi just didn't take off at all. It was slow going, then there were lots of little beans, then there weren't many...

@Bluejay77, I sent it in a bubble envelope, but I didn't get a tracking number... I have some more of the Wrens Egg & IM, and will resend next week after I get it from the farm. May-be it will show up, but it has been pretty long for the USPS.

Thanks, @Bluejay77! I definitely plan on joining next year. We'll see what the weather thinks about it. :)

@Bluejay77, I am sending your seeds today. Imbotyi Mbayiyana was the winner in disease resistance and production. We are eating the snaps from the seeds that sprouted in the pods before I could collect them. Wrens Egg did well, and the seeds are beautiful. Zambezi #2 didn't like something about...

That's dedication!!! How do you collect shower water? :bow

@LonghornGardens - the ones I have are a bush bean. I'm growing them by a trellis, and they are ignoring it.:)

I didn't realize I hadn't been here in so long, but here's my update. The Wren's Egg have lots of pods and are doing well. The Zambezi #2 have had blooms for a while, but i hadn't seen any beans until yesterday when I spotted some itty-bitty ones about 1" long. The Imbotyi Mbayiyana beans are...

@Bluejay77 Thanks - I am reading that thread, but haven't gotten that far yet.

@Bluejay77, what is the 2014 Bean Fashion show? Thanks

@flowerweaver Actually, it was the Leakey Death Ride put on by the Fort Worth Bicycling Association. A three day event from Bandera to Leakey, a hundred mile loop out of Leakey (the best part, of course) and back to Bandera. I slowly got out of shape after my 16 yo dd was born. Sometimes I...

@flowerweaver We are just north of Dallas, living in Texas, and have a small farm just across the border in Oklahoma where we plan to retire to someday. I've just been lucky, knock on wood. You haven't been - wow! Your experiences must have really made you feel alive!! One of my most...
