I have thought of a new idea for everyone to pick and choose their desired beans to grow out on this bean network next year and for all time.
After this season is over. We have gone through all of the beans that were sent to me 3 years ago from two fellows from South Africa. I've been calling it the African Collection. We now know which ones didn't grow and have grown out all the other seed that would germinate and have renewed all that still alive seed.
I have lots of other beans that could be grown. Joseph Simcox "The Botanical Explorer" sends me beans in a box almost every year. I have many of Marshall's beans, and beans from other people as well. I think the total with the African beans added together is over 180 varieties.
I have created two Little Easy Bean network pages on my website with all the beans pictured except for the ones that are out being grown by various growers this year. Those could be put up later in the year after all the seed returns have come back. These pages will elimate the need for me to put up a handfull of bean pictures on this thread every spring, and can allow you to pick from the whole entire lot of all these beans that I have every season.
You can not access these pages from the regular part of the website. Most people looking at the site won't even know the pages are there since there are no links to these network pages on the navigation bar near the tops of the pages. These network pages are for everyone here that is part of this bean network. To open and view these pages you must type into your url window the follwing page address.
http://www.abeancollectorswindow.com/network.html This will get you to the first network page. There is a link at the bottom of that page to access the second network page and a link on that second page at the bottom to return to the first page. You can also view any of the other pages on the website from these network pages, and the rest of the site pages will open in a seperate tab while you still remain on the network page in it's own tab.
Take a look using the address I have given and come back here to let me know what you think of this idea.
I don't know what kind of internet browsers each one of you has to connect to websites, but I have discovered I can not access the network page with Internet Explorer. If you have that problem I would suggest you google perhaps Opera or Google Chrome and download and install one of those internet browsers on your computer. My website does seem to view the best with either one of these two browsers.
