Tarahumara Bakamina One of two surviving half-runner beans, the second one was Tinker's Fire. The others were washed away by water during a heavy storm. The seeds I sowed came from some original Native Seeds/SEARCH seeds that I got from @saritabee some time ago. I had a very good harvest. In...

Rosso del Cadore from Veneto, Italy. One of the earliest pole beans I have ever had. I picked my first dry pods in late July/early August. Only Lengua de Lobo can match it. Murusieddu Nero - pole from Sarconi, Basilicata, Italy. This bean, like Panzaredda, was grown in a place that was too...

The Zazza seeds I sowed looked similar to the ones in the picture. The colors were already oxidized. A year without a fridge or freezer is enough for this. Great! Thank you @Triffid. We will discuss the details in PM.

What a pretty bean. I'm writing it down in my notebook.

@Triffid, I don't feed my beans with anything special. Before sowing, I give nitrogen and potassium to the soil and later, when the plants have grown a bit, magnesium sulfate with microelements to the leaves. I guess I won't get a Michelin star for this :) The exact weight of the Zazza seeds is...

@heirloomgal, the purple color seems to be similar to Lucie, but I'm not 100% sure. I would have to take the seeds out of the freezer to compare.

@BeanieQueen, I can't answer your question because I don't have Hewitt bean.

Zazza - pole bean from Val Camonica, Lombardy, Italy. Very productive, from two plants I got almost 2 kg of seeds. Panzaredda - pole bean from Sarconi, Basilicata, Italy. It was growing in too dry place and most of the seeds are smaller than they should be. Barba di Frate - pole bean...

In that case I will keep the Golden Bear Lake seeds at room temperature longer. They were already frozen so the weevils will not appear. This is true, but the seeds are clearly smaller than they should be. That's why I did not send them to you as a return. I think I have finally found a place...

Two more beans selected by @Blue-Jay Golden Bear Lake - bush bean. Seeds freshly shelled from pods look white. A delicate light beige pattern appears after some time. Gray Mountain - pole. Quite a late bean, but I managed to harvest a lot of nice seeds. Frost - pole. This is my entire...

In Polish, "pupa" is a delicate term for the part of the body on which we sit :) Languages are fun. Polish and Czech are similar to each other, theoretically we can understand each other, but attention is needed because some words pronounced the same have the opposite or completely different...

@BeanieQueen I bought my seeds here. I like to support small initiatives like this. https://zutini.lv/ This site also has recipes for bean dishes.

@jbrobin09, the variety names are in Latvian, I will also write an English translation from Google. These are local cultivars and the names are not official. Cīruļoliņas (Larks) Gaiši Brūni Lāsumainās (Light Brown Spotted) Omas Pupas (Grandma's Bean) Omas ar Zilo Svītriņu (Grandma's with...

I had a good day. I received a package of great bush beans from the Vidzeme region in Latvia. Very good quality seeds.

@Blue-Jay, I have not tried eating the green pods of Alice Sunshine. I have only had a few bushes. I grow Polish beans to eat fresh pods. Here we have many varieties intended for this purpose, especially waxes which are very popular.
