i'll look into those, thanks Russ. :)

thank you! yes, helpful. that yellow bit around the eye is interesting. :)

i first saw those happen in some Cranberry beans, it's commonly called reversing or a reversal, but the geneticists probably have a different name for it. it's when the background color switches with the foreground. i've seen it several times since and sometimes it is the whole pod that...

yes, ingredients have elemental sulfur and gypsum. so you're good to go. :)

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :)

do you ever use a bit of sulfur powder?

glad to see you back! :)

if you do grow outs for a few years you'll be able to see if the bean is stable or not and if it is unique and interesting enough to share with others. :) my experience is that you won't know until you do it and once you do it you may find yourself on some interesting journeys...

certainly, i've never been able to memorize well so i get bits and pieces but the details are rather beyond me. life is beautiful and complex and from what that article tells me is that there are many interelated factors which influence bean colors and patterns. i posted that one, though...

23 quarts of tomatoes canned last night and then 9 & 1/2 finished up this morning, but only 9 made it into sealed jars. the left-over pint will get put in with some sloppy joes today.

thank you! :)

i like this one much better:

@Marie2020 this is a response to your post about the friend and the demanding hubs...

interesting tidbit came across variety of bean called "Trionfo Violetto", but very few pictures of seeds of this variety. has anyone here grown it or found a good picture of the seeds themselves? of course this is related to my search for the parents of Purple Dove... :) the seeds appear to...

me too! :) likely pole beans (a dominant trait) but it really depends upon how many traits of Gold of Bacau were recessive instead of dominant and who the daddy was. green pods are dominant, yellow pods are recessive, etc. there are many genes that play a role in seed coat colors and...

haha! yesterday i was so cold when i got up it was 70F inside, brr!!! i put on long pants and a long sleeved shirt to be warmer. last night when Mom was standing at the counter helping cut up the last of the batch of tomatoes for canning she wanted the AC on her feet. she wore some shoes...

rain chances for today pretty good. not too hot with a high of 72F.

Gold of Bacau Outcross is what i would use. the seed coat pattern is pretty common from what i've experienced and also the beans that come from crosses tend to perform really well their first year after the cross happens - when you replant those seeds you may have different results than what...

the Cascades are not a part of the Rocky Mountains...

today i got out for the first major round of tomato picking. not going to be a huge crop this season - i'm guessing half or less of normal (which will still be plenty). i was thinking there might be a few buckets of tomatoes ready with some of them being damaged by critters or rejects (a...
