The Little Easy Bean Network - Get New Beans Varieties Nearly Free

[897tgigvib]

This is the contact for Lake County California. I actually live in Lake County, even though they call my address up here as a town in Mendocino county. One of the things that happen when you live so far up in the woods.

So this extension agent ought to be able to order 30 varieties of beans from CIAT. I will check into it.

I have noticed the link to my website is gone and it's not located in my profile either when you click on Bluejay77.

Unforunately there were a few fields in the users profile settings that didn't get copied over Fortunately most of them (like timezone, etc.) weren't super critical pieces of into that wouldn't be hard to re-input. But we're definitely sorry for the inconvenience.

Every county should have an Agricultural Extension office. That agent would be useful mostly if you wanted to test out 30 more different bean varieties than you currently have. Local colleges with AG departments would also be a good resource here.

Hey, I'm in Wisconsin! Finding AG specialists is easy in America's Dairyland.

Nice work!

Hello Everyone!

Less than 1/3 of our Little Easy Bean Network gardeners returned seed so far this year. I was wondering if anyone else going to return seed this fall? Was there a crop failure in 70% of the gardens this year? Some of the seed was the last i had of some of a few varieties. What happened in your gardens? Did the critters have a feast on all those beans? "LOL" Did I ask for too many seeds to come back?

I'm one of the guilty ones, Bluejay. I have the bean seeds shelled and ready to mail; just haven't gotten them to the post office yet. Sorry. It's not like I live a hundred miles from the post office. I've been thinking I need a bubble wrap mailer, but perhaps I can use some bubble wrap I have and devise something. I will make that a priority now.

I made another thread about it Russ.

The box of seeds I'm mailing to you is packed and wrapped, and I'll either go to the post office friday or monday with it. Over 80 packets for you.

Come on gang, it's the deal. At least say what happened, and get to Russ those seeds.

I feel responsible, and I'm trying to make up for it, but I can't replace the last seeds of their kind. Of the chickasaw I had low production and am sending what I can of those, and plan on growing them again next year. The others there are plenty of. In fact Russ, I'm going to fill some more packets to send in a separate bubble wrap mailer.

I also got some assorted bubble wrap mailers and am working on what I'm sending to Digit right now, and next will be some to seed obsesser, then thistle, cane, journey.

Hi Marshall !

You don't need to send Chickasaw seed back. If you need more Chicasaw I can send them to you. I have plenty of that here. Anyway there were a bunch of varieties you bought and paid for. No need to send any of those back.
