hi all, I found this forum when i ran a Google search for the Ijevan Purple King bean. Got seeds at the Heirloom Festival last year, planted them & they're doing GREAT. But the packet they came in had no information at all, I can see they're a shelling bean from the posts on this site, but what about fresh eating or canning? Any insights appreciated!

Maybe @Bluejay77 can help you. He's the bean guru.

What is that black thing in your garden in the last pic...is it a smoker? an old wood burner used to heat a small barn that someone gave to us. purely decorational or i should say it is often a home to hornets/wasps/etc.

It SOUNDS like it might be one of Joe Simcox's beans (since he brought back a lot of beans from Ijevan)

i don't think so. the four beans in that picture had fairly small seeds, but those pods are very good eating when picked young. i don't have any information about ljevan Purple King.
