Sadly no, but i planted a little late. I am going to try it again next year and start in gallon jugs.

Here is 3 of 6 of my grow out beans: Indian, Appaloosa, and Red Marble. I forgot to take pictures of Bird Egg #2 and Deb's Creek. The last pictures are of what came out of the Frauenbohne seed that I planted. Very nice, but not true to type... The last two pictures may just be unripe as they...

So glad i picked my beans that were dry last week as we have been inundated with rain the last 3 days. We were threatened with a freeze so the plants that were not quite dry were stripped of half their beans and put in the garage to finish drying rather than be killed by the freeze. It then...

I have really liked that Willowleaf butter bean. i separated the colors and grew by similar colors. They are so pretty.

Would you like me to send you some of my seeds from them to compare?

Is Red Podded Red Swan possibly the same as the red swan being sold by rareseeds.com? https://www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/beans/beans/red-swan-bush-bean This is one of my favorites to grow!! I do have seeds.

That sounds like a good idea. I agree with that "Tall as a two story house."

How much does that run?

I have plenty of these if you would like me to send you some.

Pale Grey Lavender. Also a pole bean, but didn't exceed my 6 ft post. Set rather quickly and then was done for the season in early September. Beautiful bean. The three seed pods i am holding are 2 Wesley Railroad Spike and a dry Pale Grey Lavender.

Wesley Railroad Spike. These were quite a different bean than what i have grown before. This is a pole bean and had no problem climbing up the fence and over to the 10 ft. sunflowers i had close by. The pods are huge and fat! When dry the seeds look shrunken in. Pretty good producer. Don't think...

LOL. Yes, I knew that before. I usually would have poured them out of the bag onto a cookie sheet and put it on top of the fridge to dry, but when i set it down, he set his papers on it and it was out of sight, out of mind. All the others got spread out to dry. i had cookie sheets and paper...

I really enjoyed participating this year. I grew Passage to India and Woodruff. Both these beans did really well. I planted 6 seeds for each and all 12 came up! Passage to India is a bush bean rather than a pole. I tried a raw bean and it was fairly tender, so it could be a good snap bean. I...

bluejay77 - Got the seeds you sent. Can't wait to plant them!

@Bluejay77, I would like to grow out "Passage To India" and "Woodruff", if they are still available. I would love to do more, but want to make sure I am successful first. Thanks.

Me too! thanks for the welcome!

Yes, they are my girls. we also have goats, geese, ducks, and chickens.

Wow, reading the 2013 forum now. Such good information about genetics. reminded my of my high school genetic classes and crossing fruit flies.

Yes, i can't wait to plant them again. the advise you gave me was to plant them on a single pole about 3 feet apart. I used to grow them along a fence and just bumped one up against the next one.

Hey is this Russ? You also gave me some advise on planting pole beans so they would be less likely to cross. I tried it last year and it worked out great for growing. well see if any crossed next year. I must say, my favorite is the Graines de Café. they are so pretty and really did well for me...
