Yes I do sell a bit of seeds and I prefer to protect them to make sure customers will get what they've ordered. I do the same for tomatoes and pretty much all my seed catalogue. I'm growing about 35 varieties of bean this year, so I can't to spread them all in my farm.
Hi all,
I'm sorry for not being present on the forum and being too busy to read your posts.
I just want to let know that beans are flowering in France (I started very late) so it was time to put on my nets to prevent hybridization (I know I am probably the only one to do this lol). Here is my...
Sounds like rules are stricter. I am from France. Last year I sent seeds twice to US that never reached and I couldn't received seeds from US. Moreover, US seed companies no longer ship to France.
I called French customs, in order to get seeds, I would need to get phyto certificates. I don't...
Thank you Marie,
This thread is the reason why I came on this forum in the first place. I've already contacted Russ and sent him few seeds.
Take care !

🤣 Haha. If you really want to, you still can start them in pots and transplant them once there are big enough, but that's quite some work.
I'm sure you'll be able to cook them, it might be more difficult to eat that ;)
That's on my to read list!
Yes, that's how early produce were obtained!
This technic is becoming more and more popular and here people are using it for germination and seedling growth in tunnel during winter.
Great gift BTW
Too bad! That kind of beetles ruined my peas and favas, as this year was very hot and dry. Next year I will grow these early in my greenhouse and I hope to have less issues. I also need them too! I'm trying to select peanuts and I hope to have a decent harvest next years.
Hi Jane,
Yep, beans and legumes improve soil fertility (and food safety).
Holy cow! I've always wanted to visit Montana (in summer), but gardening sounds tough. Watching seedlings in February and March helps to go through the winter ;)
Stay warm!
That's more regulated in France. You need a permit, there are quotas and hunters have to gather few times a year to hunt boar. Usually farms report to hunter big proliferation. If there are too much damage in the crops, the hunting society have to financially compensate the farmers. I'm in the...
I'm not sure who came first. I read that it is from the Narragansett Indian tribe of Rhode and that it was used for their traditional dish. But I can't say if the variety was named after the dish, or the dish after the variety, or if what I'm writing makes sense lol.
Thanks for the welcome =D
From what I remember they are productive. But they are quite long to mature. All my other beans are almost ready to harvest, while these not.
Firsts years growing DC'E, there were mostly beige, brownish. They weren't on a trellis but crawling on the ground and couldn't mature enough. Now they...
