Will do if the seed germinates :)

The day length often gets me especially when it is light out and I'd normally be in bed.

Cucurbita moschata the species to which Butternuts belong have some white coloration on the leaves which often follows the veins and can be neat along the viens or blotchy. Neem oil can also leave white residue on the leaves most likely where it follows the veins to drain off the leaf, so this...

Today the 1st of September I planted my first corn for the season which is about 300 seeds of Painted Mountain.

I'm a fan of yellow tomatoes so Coyote is interesting to me, I wonder how it stacks up against Broad Ripple Yellow Currant.

This is a huge problem, usually with bigger companies but small ones are not exempt. Currently I am having the same issue with beans, I'm finding one particular bean sold as 5 different beans that don't even have the same seed coat color or pattern.

Ecuador is right next to Peru, chances are the day light sensitive ones much like Nuna would like a 12hr day and 12hr night and cool temperatures due to elevation. If they do flower please take note of the day length if you could please.

This is kind of ironic, last night before bed I was actually looking at that bean on the association Kokopelli site and thought it might be an interesting horticultural type. I'm guessing being a French cultivar would likely cause it to struggle with heat and drought, how are the pods holding up...

@Bluejay77 What on earth is that one gigantic bush bean at the front of the photo that makes the others look tiny?

That is quite high actually and does explain the cool tolerance and also reminds me of Peru and the Nuna which despite proximity to the Equator hate heat due to their elevation being so high.

I knew you were not knocking all of them :) I'd be interested to know if the ones performing well were originally from low altitude or high altitude.

Sounds promising.

The African stuff does very well in Australia and the other way around. Thank you.

Are the pods flat or round?

Journey those plants are exceptionally vigorous and clean. Do you think these will be a regular in your garden?

You still have some nice Yukon Chief to be proud of.

Such a nice orange colour, the dehybridized Lemon Boy is also quite nice.

Just think of all the wonderful tastes of summer you and the family can enjoy in winter.

Thank you very much :) Sounds like a seed issue for sure, those sound terrible! I hope you have better luck next time :)

Journey get yourself a good seed source for Amish Paste then save your own seeds when you find a good one. I've had it grow through blazing hot summers and even had self sown plants surviving frosts and fruiting in an open field during winter. It makes a good sandwich tomato and a good paste...
