So did I too (except the fungicide) this year and I found indeed that this a successful technique with older or poor quality seed. What kind of fungicide do you use?

This is very interesting with that Bamberger Blaue pole! I think it is not too late yet to sow them. Or is it because you have no free pole left? I would very much like to know what will happen to this outcross in its following season - if it reverses or becomes stable..? Last year I grew Jembo...

Oh, in general we have the middle Europeen average weather here. Spring often starts in March w/ daytime temp. of roughly 12 (to 20)°C but slight frost at night is still easily possible. This year I started sowing on 15 March, but in germination dishes. After 5-8 days then in little pots (except...

Yes, Wild Gonny seems to be not such a bad guess. I grow them myself this year for the first time, but the seed I got looked not so dark red, much more purplish and taller. About Jesse Fisk I am not so sure. On the photo of bohnen-atlas.de those rather look like Horsehead or the like. What do...

Oh YES! I must have them some day! Otherwise I will NEVER ever be able to be happy again !! :D

Oh wow.. they are all so pretty! Can you also name the reddish one (first photo) underneath of Dean Family? And I had to look up at once this Salt Spring Seeds shop because I nearly flipped out when I saw this Bantu mix. They are simply gorgeous! Unfortunately, they to not deliver abroad...

I do not know this variety (are they big?) but I have already been growing soybean for a soybean project. The manual said to sow them 2 to 2.5 inch apart in rows with a distance between the rows of apprx. 1.5 feet. So, if you ask me, these 1.5 inch apart should not be a true problem. If they...

Very sensible! And you have my positive vote for certain if you should apply for a permanent change of name :D

They are pretty!! Is this bush or pole?

A very beautiful list! Mongeta del Ganxet, Wild Gonny, Kroat. Stange, Dusslinger Bäckerschürzle [baker's apron (because of the many flecks/stains) of Dusslingen (a little town in Swabia] and Schäfermädle [shepherd's girl (in Swabian dialect)] I am growing myself this year :) I wish you luck with...

Funny - so do I :)

Lucky me that it was raining in Illinois! Thank you so much for this sneak pre-view.. What a nice looong list! And it reads like a poem :) Do you use some of them also for mainly private consumption? And what colour has Rwanda Sky? Light grey?

Thank you so much for listing! Very interesting! Most names are already familiar, but some I had to look up. And it is so international! Really once around the world.. How many plants do you usually do per variety?

Wow, @Ridgerunner, are these current photos? If so, are your beans already grown that far - almost ready for harvesting?? When did you sow them? And what variety is this?

Hello @heirloomgal:frow Well, now! Now I am but the more curious! Do you mind listing them occasionally? Tepary beans I haven't tried yet either. I have the impression that they want it really hot and do not stand much wetness but this may be wrong. The seedlings on your photo look very good...

140 varieties! Jesus! In this case I think I refrain from asking you to list them here occasionally (for I am curious about it) as I do not want you to spend the whole summer writing down bean names..

Thanks a lot for the Lima answer. Precious information. Very good to know what is expecting me.. I am afraid I have to change my arrangements.. I see that you have rather the same weather like me at the moment. It is getting already very dry here too. So do you have all your bean youngsters in...

I know what you mean! Same here. I acquired so many new varieties recently that I had to explain to several of them to remain patient until next season. What kind of weather do you have at the moment? We almost touched the 30°C today (at night no less than 15°). Are your plants all out already?

Do you happen to know how tall Red Calico and Ganymede are likely to grow? Are they true pole beans or rather semi runner-like?

Yes! Trebulino are a lot my taste! I never had them before. Of all network varieties they were the very last to germinate - after 12 days.. one! A 2nd and 3rd reluctantly decided on day 15. And: they want it hot. I nearly finally boiled them in the sun to lurk a little root out of their peel...
