2026 Little Easy Bean Network – Plant A Garden, Water Your Soul, Join Our Family

[Blue-Jay]

@Blue-Jay I need to mail you my September Blue beans and will do that very soon. Fall was crazy busy and some of my September Blues had a drying issue. I wanted to make sure these were fully dry before sending. I am happy to grow them out again this year.

I'd also love to give one of the Italian varieties a try - Purgatorio.

Hi @heartsong111,

email me with what you would like to grow out this coming summer (upadam@comcast.net). If you don't have enough of the September Blue just hang on to them and grow them again. September Blue is a bean still a work in progress.

I've got Purgatorio but I just noticed I don't have it listed on the website. Will have to take care of that sometime.

Welcome everyone in the new year!

This year I will only have those network beans that have not been successfully grown so far. I will not order new ones because I don't know when I will be able to send anything to the US. Only correspondence and documents can be sent from Poland. @Blue-Jay, I hope I don't have to wait another three years to send you last year's returns.

This weekend I will start sorting the 2025 bean seeds. I will probably take a few photos too so I have something to show here.

Happy New Year!

@Artorius,

Your package is in the mail on it's way to your friend in Paris. Two surprise packets are in the package from flowerbug. Also a surprise bean from me. It's something I'm trying to stabalize. I think it's neat looking. Hope you have fun with it. I have already given it a name. I also added a bush lima that I had sitting in my freezer that I got from a fellow in Iowa who had a large pole lima collection, He would sometime breed limas. He must have sent this bean to me about 6 years ago. I thought it would surely be a pole lima but it wound up being a bush. I usually don't care for bush limas but this one is colored differently than all the commercial bush limas that have a light green tint to them. I know I will grow this one more.

@Blue-Jay, @flowerbug, thank you very much!
