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...

knock three times on the ...

i don't like change... i also don't like it when things change that i don't know the facts and details. we had to have the hot water heater replaced and after that the water coming out of the sinks was tepid to even warm. i thought it was something going on with the change of the hot water...

it's been a tough year here too, just have to keep doing what we can.

hmm... looks like double-trouble or worse...

often it was easier to just roll out of them.

nothing wrong with planting them any time in September IMO, but we're further north so perhaps give yourself a few more weeks of healing and then get it done... carefully... :) mid-September on. early October? i hardly ever do things when i'm supposed to...

got some picking of beans in and then the rains dotted me and i was ready to come in anyways.

very much dependent upon variety but also remember that in the natural environment where they developed they were not lifted and replanted and i've grown garlic here where i've not lifted it and just left it to grow as a big clump. so the whole lifting and dividing and replanting is purely for...

yes, we have never been able to leave the heads out to fully dry (if we're lucky enough to get any at all to flowering stage) due to how many birdies and chipmunks are after them.

i tried a few and found most of them were too long of a season for us or close enough to not be reliable. to me it is no fun to put in the work of growing them if they're not going to be reliable. when i grow longer season varieties i'm hoping to get them to cross with earlier ones and...

it's already well past rediculous... ditto, Mom gets up early and she is my alarm clock and reminder because left to my own devices i may forget. in the past they've started their route right here at our corner so if the trash isn't out there before 7am we may be missed. the past half year...
