This guy has a whole hill of beans!

Beans are one of the best crops you can grow in a garden. More protein per square foot than any other vegetable.

Those beans are pretty enough to wear as jewelry! (Not that I have much for jewels anyway-I would rather wear dirt! )

Hi Everyone !

Marshall emailed me today and told me to say hello to everyone here for him. He is having some sort of trouble loging on to the EasyGarden forum. I don't know if it's his email server that is down or his satellite connection. I'm sure he'll be back soon when he gets it figured out.

I'm curious about how many of the active members of the EasyGarden forum were ever members of Wanigan Associates. If there are even a few. I'm wondering if those members still keep and grow any of the varieties they may have obtained from John Withee's Wanigan network.

Not I, but I would be willing to grow a few varieties. Most of my garden is commited to food production, but I do have a few extra square feet here and there.

I have to admit I had never heard of Wanigan Associates till Marshall talked about it on this forum. But I would like to participate in growing one or two of your bean varieties in my small garden, when the time comes. I am all for preserving heritage and rare varieties.

Bluejay, I'd like to take on a few of your varieties. I recently took up saving some Appalachian heirloom beans and have 3 varieties I've been keeping over the past couple of years. Two of them I have enough to trade with, if you are interested. One is a slender, white cornfield bean and the other is a brown, speckled, greasy cut-short.

Beans beans a musical fruit.
The more you eat, the more you toot,
The more you toot, the better you feel,
So lets eat beans for every meal!


haha.. sorry.. I had to.

I kinda thought there might not be any Wanigan people around on the EasyGarden. It's kinda a long way back down the road in the rearview mirror. A journey through another land, and I was only about 33 when I traveled through Wanigan territory a little way back ago.

Hey Journey 11 I'll trade you two varieties for 2 of your Appalachian kinds that you have enough seed for. We will do this around the 1st of April. Send me those two and pick two of mine you'd like, and I'll send them out around the 1st of April.
