No I don't believe I have seen any. Maybe someone else has seen that, not I though.

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #25 At one time I thought limas were somewhat limited in the number of colors and patterns. However with all the photos I've found of them it looks like they could be just as endless as P. Vulgaris beans. I've never seen a purple lima like bean 91. Bean 88 is a P...

I don't mind Network beans that originated somewhere else. I get Network requests all different months of the year. There is usually a bigger uptick in Network requests starting in Novmeber. That's good especially for people who have longer seasons and who will plant earlier. I got a Network...

If the seed on both pods types are the same you might try keeping the seed of those pod types seperate and grow each one seperately and see if each one produces the same individual pod shape again. Might be they are slightlly different strains of the same bean or it might be a characteristic of...

It was 42 F 5.55 C here Sunday morning. It's going to 80 F 26 C here today, heirloomgal if you can survive tonight without any frost. We are going to have a good run of 80's predicted to run all the way to September 18th and I'll bet that warm air is coming your way too.

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #25 Bean #83 reminds me of my Kishwaukee Green and Yellow beans. Bean #86 is a work of art. Bean #81...........................................................Bean #82 Bean #83...........................................................Bean #85 Bean...

China, Russia, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba. These are all examples of government controled economies. They don't work. You need to allow the normal principles of economics to work. This is what we are going to get if Harris is elected here in the U.S. If she gets in we are next.

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #24 Bean #75 looks like a Nuna bean. I think those are the bean that can be popped like popcorn. 77 looks like an Orca lima. 79 reminds me a Hashuli and 80 I may have shown that one before. Bean...

Were the Trevio Nun beans you harvested larger than what I had sent? The young woman who sent me this bean has a website called Tomato Eden. She had bought just huge amounts of beans from me for a couple of years and listed them on her website at one time. Now she only lists Tomatoes, Peppers...

Zeedman from Wisconsin has been very quiet this year. I hope he is in good health.

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #23 Lovely Limas. I wouldn't mind growing any of them if they would grow here. Bean 70 what color would you call that ? Bean 63.............................................................Bean 64 Bean...

In 2012 I had gone to the Seed Savers Exchange Conference in Decorah, Iowa. 2012 was a nasty drought year here and over a large area of the country around. We had listened to a presentation of a plant breeder. He was talking about how sometimes a tough year can show you which are the better...

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #22 Bean 57 looks a lot like North Pole. 58 reminds me of the segregation I've gotten from Andromeda I've been calleing Scorpio. 61 looks like a beautiful pink bean larger and more filled out than the more flattened Pink that I've grown. 5:20 am right now and we've...

So by now you must have cooked an eaten these in this stage. So how was the eating quality. What was the eating texture and flavor? I go to seed swaps in Kentucky and they tell me that these types of beans are tender hulled. They are boiled in water with bacon fat. Most of the water is boiled...

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #21 @Pulsegleaner sent me a lima that looks just like Bean #55 said to be from Libia, but I think this bean is from Brazil. Just love the colors and patterns on all these beans. However I'm still very satisfied with what I've already got. Bean...

Since 2012 we have had extended hot and dry periods each summer with rain very lacking in April. April should be a very wet month here. This year has been more like a summer I remember back in the 1960's and 70's. April rains were good and so were the rains in May, June and July very regular...

Welcome @Hornad. So nice to have yet another bean lover post on this thread. I think you will have an enjoyable and fun time here.

Oh yes Bean #47 is a real standout. I like #48 also. The red and white is beautiful with all the spots.

Summer Bean Show 2024 Vol. #20 The South American Limas just are spactacular with their color and designs. I also like very much Bean #50. I believe it's a P. Vulgaris with a looks like a gun metal blue and a white stripe emanating from the eye. Bean...
