It definitely darkened. Yes, I found that on Guy Dirix's website last night.

I will have a look at my jar of beans tonight, and see what they look like. I'll post a photo, I grew my seeds in 2023.

@Blue-Jay do you think the 'Turkey' bean you have (which I think was called Turkey #1 before if I remember correctly) might be this bean? https://belleepoquemeise.be/le-roi-du-potager/sari-taneli-sera/

Oooooh the 'Anniversay' sweet pea!!! I hope you post pictures this summer of all these flowers!

I love the ceramic pots too ducks, so elegant and pretty. 🪴

I know!!!

I'm so relieved to have almost all the tomatoes planted, and the 'Schoenbrunn' ground cherries too. I'm actually thrilled to see the cherries up already in a matter of days! Not common for the physalis family! Could not for the life of me find my pump action spray watering can, so I had to...

'Margot' is so pretty! :love

So true @Alasgun. I have a dear friend who has really put on weight in the last 10 years, and is now pre-diabetic. Her sister had diabetes and died young, her brother has it too and recently had a leg amputated. 'Health professionals' have all told her 'she's perfect just the way she is'...

My gosh. I'm so used to doing my own thing in the garden I've really become disassociated from commercial practices, I tend to keep my eyes on the seed saving stuff more. It's mind boggling that its this bad. It was never 'good', but food that purposefully genetically alters our DNA. Heaven...

Just when I thought things were already mindblowingly bad, I found out they're spraying the crops with actual RNA, that the plants uptake so it alters their DNA, which people will then eat and absorb into their own bodies affecting their DNA. Modern commercial farming is one of the greatest...

So many things to consider with greenhouses. One thing that people always say when they see my little greenhouse is 'you must get a head start on the plants with that'! Personally, I really don't because of nighttime temperatures. I'd have to heat it for getting a head start on plants, and...

Almost 'April' snow! I’ve gotten mail twice since the storm, and my neighbour told me today he saw it delivered by taxi. Which was odd as they didn’t go to any other houses on the street. I guess because they were small parcels. The post is still not operational. Driveway fun The...

Lucky! 😊

I'm a little bit crazy when it comes to beans & tomatoes...and peas... 😂 You're so lucky to have such big tomato plants already!

More on the glyphosate post above. I honestly have only ever thought of it as a weed killer. I had no idea that it was an anti-biotic. :eek: I've steered clear of those nearly my whole life, minus one strep infection. From the Healthy Practitioner, Stephanie Grutz - Glyphosate is an...

I love those beans! And I agree @Blue-Jay that 'Kitoba' is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous bean! It is one of my favorites for sure, and along with that incredible beauty it seems like a super high yielding type with nice & early maturity. What more can be asked of a bean! 🤩 I was curious...

Had the oddest experience outside today. I was trying to make it to my treehouse outdoor shelf, where I've got all my starter pots stored. I really put this off because the snow is so deep and I didn't want to go through the hassle of snowshoes. I'm sure in places it's nearly up to my hips...

No, I checked & that one isn't in there. :( Have you grown the Minusinsk Mango variety? I was just speaking with the lady who sent it to me and she said it was incredibly good. I plan to keep my eye out for these Minusinsk varieties now!
