@heirloomgal, Once you get your 2025 garden layout finalized. If you want you can request any Network beans you want to grow and any other beans you want to grow. I wonder if maybe we should just try the paper wrap method for all of it this year. What do you think about that?

There are 10 varieties that you wouldn't really have to send back they are sufficient numbers here of them. I like to keep 3 or 4 packets at a minimum of each variety in the freezer. Just in case I have a grower that doesn't return something. I do have growers that I send seed to and never hear...

The first question I have was did you leave my address label in that ziploc baggie that said "Address Label For USDA TO Forward Package? I'm sure you did but I just want to double check. My local post office could only find your Canadian Tracking number that would have taken the package to the...

Well that was interesting and fun to watch and listen too. Thank You. I wish every single bean variety we have were resistant to BCMV.

Oh flowerbug I met you at the Central Michigan Seed Swap a little while back and you are so old. LOL🤣. I just turned 79 this past December. Speaking of age. Seriously would anyone like to be put in my will and inherit a sample or maybe more of every single bean in my collection someday when I'm...

I looked up the Sy Ma bean on my freezer inventory list and I sent you the only packet that I had. What a shame I had tested a few other seeds of Sy Ma and they gave me 100% germination.

You can insert the link to the video. I would like to see it and listen to it.

@heirloomgal, Finally today I thought it was a long time since you sent your package to the Linden, New Jersey inspection station. So I decided to call them. They tell me the area in the plant where they keep packages that are ready to be forwarded is empty. I'm suspecting that they have sent...

Hi Artorious ! I can order seed from Roughwood for you. The owner there is food historian and author William Woys Weaver. He orders from me from time to time. We exchange emails with each other. I'm even working on a little project of finding some bean varieties for the Roughwood collection...

Wow ! All three of those beans are absolutely beautiful. I wish Sweetwater would look like that when grown here. I got more red than white with spotting. Not too bad I guess but I would like to see a little smaller area of red. Sweetwater - Bush Taken in 2018

There is a seed swap coming up the first Saturday in April that is much closer to you than Berea, Kentucky. It is in Pikeville, Kentucky and I will be there. It's called The Appalachian Heritage Annual Seed Swap. At the Pike Central High School, 100 Winners Circle.

Greasy beans don't take any longer to mature than the non-greasy types.

Your first package is at the Linden inspection station. It's been there since January 21. I'm sure they are going to forward it to me. I made a trade of beans with a gal from BC and it went through the Linden inspection process and I've gotten the package long time ago. I'm not concerned about...

We call them seed swaps here but there is very little swapping going on. Most of the vendors sell seed at our swaps. Did you sell seed or was it a give away affair? If you sold seed I hope you got enough for them.

Wow all your beans are beautilful ! The beans that came out of the bush plants look just like Dana's Soldier.

Someone sent me a photo of an empty seed packet with the name on it. It is supposed to be a bush green bean.

@BeanieQueen, Have you ever heard of a German bush green bean called Karnick or Kenrick. Supposed to be pre 1800.

Hi BeanieQueen, I mailed you a package on January 23. Botosani Cylops, Holstein, Southwest Gold, Southwest Red, Sunrise, Tanzanian Grey, And Winterfare. Is that the package you wanting to recieve.

@heirloomgal Wow ! what a nice and professional looking seed display. I don't know when your seedy Saturday is but when it comes hope you do great and have a lot of fun meeting and talking to all your buyers. It is Sunday afternoon now and I'm back from the Central Indiana Seed Swap. It was a...

I think I'm quite good. In May, June, July, August I did a lot of walking a mile a day. I started back driving my mini van about the third week of June. Since then I've done all my own grocery shopping. I do my normal house cleaning myself. August through the end of October. I attended...
