These are not all the beans I have to grow, but they're a fun representation of what I received recently.

I finally purchased some rainbow varieties/colors for the school garden I'm working on. I also will grow out a blue bean variety in my home garden. I now need to work on planning and spacing. I'm getting excited! :)

Hello Everyone! I recently started a job at a non-profit in Michigan - H.O.P.E. Gardens (helping other people eat). I'll have one of the school gardens to manage and would love to get my hands on some interesting beans that the kids can help harvest, and perhaps some will end up in sensory bins...

I'm not sure I can make it, but I am excited to see it posted. :)

I very much would love to grow something out. I volunteer for a non-profit that puts gardens in schools in my city. I would love to be able to someday donate some "rainbow" colored beans for their gardens so the kids can have fun with them. Can you recommend some good ones that are red, orange...

Lovely timing as I was about to browse USPS site next. :)

Me and some tomatoes. My name is Kelly.

Hello from West Michigan! I am also a bean lover. :)

The Mbombo has been on my very long wish list. :D

I'm afraid I did not document the date, but it was about a month ago. I used our compost. I started a new round with seeds of some additional varieties. This was a couple weeks ago and seedlings have emerged. These will be more interesting due to no grow lights. Those were in a potting soil mix...

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for the new thread! :)

Oops, it didn't link back like I thought: Lemon Spice, Pumpkin Spice and Orange Spice (from Baker Creek).

I agree with the beans idea. I think I'd suggest runner beans specifically. The bees love them and they are edible (in multiple stages). Not to mention, the dry beans and flowers are just pretty.

I opened our freezer yesterday and was reminded that I have a lot of work ahead of me. LOL

I'm currently experimenting with micro dwarf tomatoes to see how well they do in our house as a windowsill garden. I have blooms starting!
