@Bluejay77 Oh you got the Kishwaukee twins back together, that is great news. Does the green have a stable seed coat color?

@aftermidnight Glad to hear your beans are doing well. Blue Jay is delicious, I ordered some seed for a Canadian friend's birthday and their whole family loved them and couldn't get enough.

I'd totally forgot about that one!

I could certainly see it suiting both of those quite well. How big does Giant Red Tarka get for you?

@Bluejay77 Okay that seed is almost as old as me, it has held up quite well though. I'm surprised you don't run some sort of bean museum. I've got the darker Soldier bean and I've got Jacob's Cattle so I can try and do a cross this spring. Soldier is quite a huge seed but that cross is gigantic...

My ears are burning

This would be one of the main two reasons I do not touch products containing canola and also the fact most here is now gm or gm contaminated.

Apologies for the possible confusion, I'd just forgot I'd sown it this growing season and had packed it away and forgot about it which sounds terrible now that I think about it. It actually came to me via another collector who likely got it from the seed bank here. I'll grow it out again this...

I agree. I grow things I am not very fond of so that they stay in circulation for people who might want them but have yet to find them.

@Bluejay77 I have one named 'Whiskey' which looks exactly like Jacob's Cattle but holds the pattern in the heat. I found it cleaning seed and doing inspections on this last seasons seed a few days ago.

If I grow any thing like Magpie, Jacob's Cattle or the like during hot or hot/dry weather I always end up with the dark color taking over most of the seed coat. This last growing season I had some Magpie that were self sown but healthy so I left them and they matured during fall (they survived...

@Bluejay77 that is fantastic news, looks like another one is coming back home. It is great to see that it was kept going all these years, obviously it was appreciated by the right folks.

That is just so terrible I might have to invent a word for it! I feel awful knowing how much work it will be to replant all that.

@sea-kangaroo Blossom Valley and Pied Python are stunning.

Richmond River Green Apple, Crystal Apple and Lemon. The three apple cucumbers from down under, easily eaten out of hand and I've never had a bad Crystal or Green Apple and they are high yield and great for people who can't usually eat cucumbers due to bitterness or digestion issues. Crystal...

I can feel it, the days aren't pleasant enough to go outside until after noon and then you only have a few hours of good light to get things done. What do you use your sunflowers for, seeds or aesthetics?

Sowing carrots and peas in the morning if all goes well.

Yes I too thought it was some special code.

Welcome!

Well it depends what intentional or unintentional selection criteria the cultivar has gone through before you have obtained it. It could have deteriorated or even improved in some respect.
