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

It feels like that part of trick or treating when your bag is really starting to fill up and you're just itching to get home and dump it to see everything you've got!

Same here! I harvested my first Arlington Red Cranberry pod last evening and was so elated!

Has anyone here grown the pole bean 'Fagiolo de la Bereta'? Also known as 'Bareta, de la B.' according to Belle Epoque Meisse. I'm growing it for the 2nd time and finding that again it doesn't seem like a super healthy variety, just not really vigorous and lush. I'm wondering if this is typical for this variety? It is a stunningly gorgeous bean and I wonder if it was selected toward that beauty at the cost of other things.
