    2018 Little Easy Bean Network - Join Us In Saving Amazing Heirloom Beans

Is there any way to save these seeds? Is it possible to refrigerate the seeds that are sprouting so...

    Russ - The Fanoman seeds are on their way. I'm excited about growing more next year. I've been researching the list of next years beans. Can we send you a list yet of the beans we are interested in growing?

    Russ - I have been shelling out some of my earlier picked beans and I found some Fanoman beans. No wonder they weren't producing later. They had done their thing before our heat & drought hit! I will get them in the mail to you but probably after Christmas.

    I'm happy to hear the seeds arrived. I enjoyed trying out the different varieties. I especially liked the Flor de Mayo and the Yeome Pastel Eye. They have a beautiful seed coloration. Thanks for letting me participate. I would definitely like to be part of the project next year!

    Russ - Our frost held off long enough that I got several more Badda seeds. They have a pale color at the eye so hopefully they will develop the full color pattern. I have 25 or more of all the varieties except Fanoman ready to go. Fanoman refused to produce! I just found your address on my...

    Russ - I have seeds of most of the beans. Fanoman has not produced any viable seeds yet and since we are a couple of weeks away from expected frost date, I don't think I will get any. Badda di Polizzi Blanda Long Seeded produced 17 seeds that are viable but they don't look exactly like the...

    Wow! Those are wonderful looking beans. I may have to get my husband to plow up more garden area this fall. I have plants growing of all the seeds I received except the Pink Podded Burgundy Bolita. Nothing germinated from it. I have two seeds left that I will try in a pot. The Badda, Dow...

    We have been having torrential rains here. I got about three quarters of my pole beans planted and a few days later had such a hard fast rain that the sprouting beans washed away. I was out after the rain squelching through the mud trying to find the seeds. I identified the ones I could and...

    We live in the country and it always seems to take a little longer with the mail. It is time to plant beans here if it would stop raining for a while.

    Thanks, Russ. I'm looking forward to getting the beans. We have had a lot of rain and flooding so I haven't been able to plant any beans yet. I like to plant my beans alphabetically within their type so now I can plant the new beans in their proper order. And yes, I know that's weird but I find...

    Thanks for the information, Marshall. I was doing some research on the beans and didn't find information on a couple of them. What is the story on the Badda beans? I didn't find any information on them or the Yoeme beans.
