I did so with Ruanda Rainbow last season. I made notes about colour and shape of every bean in the soil to have a control what would come out. (The rainbowy thing nearly vanished, by the way. Even the only pinkish one that was in the sample bag, produced only medium browns like most of the...

Yes, @heirloomgal , I also do have the impression that it has little to do with "phytosanitary" but seems rather a political answer to the import restrictions of the U.S. - and obviously Canada, too. If the byway 'England' could help (but I know nobody there) I cannot say. I noticed only that...

Last year at least it still worked that way, @Bluejay77 . Your network shipment for this season hasn't arrived yet. I will inform you at once about its arrival. @Artorius: Hello fellow sufferer. Since we both are sitting in the same boat: do you happen to have any recent experiences in this...

Oh.. those terrific Ugandan Bantu..!! I just love them! Lucky you!! By the way: last week I was on a website of the Canadian PEI Seed Alliance and wanted to order Ugangan Bantu (and two other varieties), but this is just another company which doesn't want to ship abroad! And also the Seed...

The ones on the photos are pretty, @Triffid , but for looong not curved enough! The ones I grew had mostly the shape of a C and in size they often fitted in an average cup. (I really must find a solution for posting some photos! It's a shame..) An the colour of the seeds is a blurred wine-red.

So this is Grand-mère.. because I have a still unnamed bean here from some no-name mix, and these beans look a lot, a lot! like the ones on this photo. Also this slightly aquarellish skin tone. The ones I have here produce very much curved, halfmoonlike green pods; very hard when dry. Your's...

Gee! I am really relieved! So, life isn't all that bad after all 😄 Thank you very much for letting me know, @Bluejay77 ! Priority list 2023 - here I come!

She said such small boxes can easily get lost in that half-automated transportation process and showed me a gauge with the preferred min/max measures (but only when the parcel had already its shipping label sticked on and had been paid), and yes, afterwards a friend also told me that when...

Ah, thank you. At least there is still hope. At the post office I had been scolded by the employee to wit regarding the small size of the parcel (I used the very cardboard box you had used for sending to me). I already regretted not having taken it back home and put it in a bigger one, but I did...

Belated Happy New Year to you all!🍀 Hello @Bluejay77 , I would like to ask you if my returned network beans have hopefully already reached you (or have you news that they have arrived in Linden)? I sent them on Dec. 14th and I am getting slightly uneasy..

Those on your photo seem to develop that dark ring around the navel, which would count for 'my' Sulphur. But the seeds that I know are stouter; rather more egg-shaped.

Your Sulphur look quite different from those that I know (and grow). Do they become really sulphurous-yellow after some days? The ones I have look very much like the yellow ones on the picture below ('borrowed' from bohnen-atlas.de as I can't upload my own photos at the moment).

Did you use rather fresh beans (not fully dried) or even shellies, or were they completely dry?

@Bluejay77, can you tell what the difference is to Vulkan/Volcano?

Cool! Thank you, @Artorius, for your correction! I need to translate this RIGHT AWAY to @heirloomgal - or you may. I am under the impression that you speak (some?) German. No, I have no problems with this website so far, but I am not active on any other threads apart from this bean thread.. and...

Yes, I think, the spelling with -ian should be correct. The colour and pattern refers to the dog race Dalmatian (short white fur and a lot of black dots/speckles).

They look gorgious! I know of a very similar bean that is called 'Goldstück', and probably also 'Jeruzalemska'. Do you happen to know if these are different varieties?

Same here, @Bluejay77. I am also still busy with drying the last seeds; I had to cut off the whole wines and let them dry slowly indoors. i think they will be ready for shipping next week. I will let you know, when the parcel is on its way.

Not all that bad, dear @heirloomgal ! You hit it several times. Mooreskönigin = correct! Halbohne Reiser: syllable Hal I don't know (yet), bean is clear, and Reiser is another word (more used in Bavaria and Austria) for twig, because of their height they need/appreciate some support by twigs...

I am absolutely overwhelmed by your photos! So many cardboards and plates and bags and plates and cardboards! Bean heaven is very close there. And I am really surprised how green many of those harvested hulls still are! I wonder: do the seeds come out of them nice and smooth in the end or are...
