2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

I’m really surprised you didn’t have great results with Amish Gnuddle (I’ve seen it as Amish Nuttle here). It’s a super hearty pole (about 4-5’ tall sounds right) for me with heavy production. Ripens early, and I even had some seeds that dropped into the soil in the fall that made it through the winter and sprouted in spring! And we get -30C and colder.

I’ve been growing it for many years and it’s a favourite. I have not yet cooked with it though- did you have enough to try some?

The great beans of the late Robert Lobitz are discussed here frequently; I was hoping someone might be able to help me with info on one of his accessions. Not a bean, but a pea.
RL is cited as the introducer of 'Golden Sweet', having liberated it from the USDA genebank. My question is what is the original genebank accession?
