Hi @heartsong111, email me with what you would like to grow out this coming summer (upadam@comcast.net). If you don't have enough of the September Blue just hang on to them and grow them again. September Blue is a bean still a work in progress. I've got Purgatorio but I just noticed I don't...

You can use the Georgia 4 off types as food if you want. I had the best year ever with my Rio Zape grow out. That was due to our extended summer in October. The beans were even larger than any I had grown previously. @ruralmamma the beans in your photos are all just beautiful.

@Artorius, Your package is in the mail on it's way to your friend in Paris. Two surprise packets are in the package from flowerbug. Also a surprise bean from me. It's something I'm trying to stabalize. I think it's neat looking. Hope you have fun with it. I have already given it a name. I also...

That is really neat looking. First time I've ever seen pink pods on a pole bean like this.

Oh @saritabee so nice to hear from you again. I wonder what the trick is to growing Frost. I planted 16 seeds this year and they all died. I had a couple of others die on me too. I keep thinking that some beans are so acclimated for the climate they have been grown in for such a long time that...

Wow ! Love the bean show. Now WB-PKT 45.1 has a name and how perfect of a name is that, Onyx !! The beans are just beautiful. So nice looking. Did you ever take any photos of Ma Williams while the pods were in their pink stage?

Just tell your friend since we are not sending the beans to the USDA in Linden, New Jersey and not using the USDA green/yellow label. This shipment can not have any statement about beans or seeds. Customs will confiscate them for sure. Used cassette tapes or whatever but not beans or seeds...

Do you live in Kentucky? Then I think I know your name but won't give it away here. I've been here so long there is no way I can escape my identity.

Hello Everyone ! Here we are now in 2026 beginning our 14th year in this Network. At some point in time it felt like a family to me and I’m sure to many of you as well. Helping each other by posting our collective knowledge has been an amazing thing for me to enjoy, learn and observe as I will...

Ohhhh flowerbug I'm so very sorry I ruined your surprise. Sometimes it helps if you include little reminder notes in your package. I have so many things going and I forget stuff really easy sometimes.

Hi @flowerbug, Your package came today. Thank you the seeds, they are beatiful. I have an order for Artur. I will send the two ourcrosses to him when the order I made for him arrives here. I will include those two packets for him.

Those GMO packets should be labeled as such. Seems sneaky and underhanded how GMO is being foisted now on gardners. At least let people know what's in the package. I have got seed of two tomatoes to send you. In 2011 I planted Early Girl Hybrid tomato and saved the seeds. I had read an...

The Blue-Jay arrived home this Monday morning around 6:45. Opening all the bean packages that have arrived so far. Got through a few of them will finish tomorrow.

I have a neighbor collecting my mail while I'm gone. The last time I texted him there were 4 packages that had arrived somtime aroundthe middle of November. If you don't feel comfortable about sending packages now then I will be leaving Florida on December 13th and should be back home by the 16th.

One time I found a website that showed Potomac as a pole snap bean being released by some seed company in the 1940's. I would bet that would be the white seeded Potomac. I will try to find that site again when I get home and post the information. Thank you @heirloomgal for your research and...

Thank you @heirloomgal . The link didn't make me login.

The link didn't show up in messages. Try emailing the link.

Yes PM ME the link.

Did the original seed you received look like your grown out seed. Was it a semi runner or bush growth. Email me the growers name and address. I would like out of curiosity to see if I had ever shipped this person beans.

Looks a lot like my Chickasaw except for the blue in some of the beans. Maybe someone got a hold of Chickasaw and it got crossed with some bean.
