Legumes for planting in 2026 by Fasol

Your photos are simply beautiful!! We must be very strange to those who don't appreciate the massive variety of beans!

I'm sort of new to it, it still strikes me as an odd thing to be enthusiastic about. Yet I also love the great variety of plants and animals God put on the earth, and beans have such endless, and jewel colored, possibilities! By which I mean I'm quickly being converted lol.

Bush beans. Part #6

I bought these bean varieties at local garden center

What might be the names of the bean varieties bred from the Vavilov collection? Are they pictured in your bean photo postings with the wood grain background? Will you be posting more such photos of your beans in the future?

In my collection, some of the oldest varieties dating back to the Soviet Union era are:

Bush beans:
ГРИБОВСКАЯ 92
МОСКОВСКАЯ БЕЛАЯ ЗЕЛЕНОСТРУЧНАЯ 556
САКСА БЕЗ ВОЛОКНА 615
ТРИУМФ САХАРНЫЙ 764

Broad beans:
БЕЛОРУССКИЕ
РУССКИЕ ЧЕРНЫЕ

Peas:
ЖЕГАЛОВА 112
НЕИСТОЩИМЫЙ 195
ПОБЕДИТЕЛЬ Г 33
РАННИЙ 301

All of them were previously preserved in the All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) collection

As I get ready for the season, I’ll be posting more photos of beans and other legumes

Maybe I didn't put it correctly, or the translator app didn't convey the text accurately. I'm planting 300 varieties of beans this year alone, and that's only part of the collection. In reality, there are even more

Wow, I have to think thats alot even for a professional. Here I am trying to figure out how to get enough isolated growing space, yet large enough to grow a genetic diversity, to grow the 4 types of beans i have. You said you are an agricultural engineer, does that mean you are funded/given the space to use for this?
