In Polish plantations, the spacing between plants is 50 cm. Spot sown seeds, 2-3 pieces each. Piękny Jaś grows very high and expands strongly to the sides.

I rub the edge of the seeds with a nail file. They absorb water and swell immediately.

@Triffid Too late for warnings. I already read it :D Tomorrow I'm starting to make bean seedlings. Finally!

I would like to go on an exchange like that, but it would be hard to come back with the seeds. I would have to charter a plane with a trailer. :)

@meadow I plant the sill beans in 3 liter pots. The substrate I use contains enough fertilizer for the entire life cycle of the plant. This year, Refugee and Frauenbohne are also growing in pots. I only have a few seeds of these varieties, and I hope to get a little more before the real start of...

This is the Ocean View segregation that I found in 2020. I sowed it on February 18 and it grows in a pot on the window sill. Bush bean, but the plant is very tall, about 70 cm. The seeds are large and flat. I am very curious what is hidden in the pods. I will find out soon.

@Bluejay77 More seeds are not a problem for me. They will not be wasted for sure :-)

The Maskotka is a Polish variety.

It's a good news @Bluejay77 . They are not lost. The second kit that you sent to England is already with me. I sent you a private message about it

This is my reaction to what I saw today.

@heirloomgal I have not grown this bean yet. The seeds I sent you were original seeds from Remy. I was intrigued by your description of what Grandma Gina's fresh seeds looked like. I want to check if there will be a similar situation for me. Besides, I only have a few seeds left from the...

Yes, I got Grandma Gina's seeds from Remy. I plan to plant this bean this year. Giving the seed source is indeed an important thing that I keep forgetting about. I have to pay more attention to this when trading seeds.

This is great news. Recently, I was thinking about what could have happened to Remy's collection when I shared its seeds with other LEBN members. I got 30 bean varieties from her.

Today I received three packets of beans from @Bluejay77, @Zeedman and @saritabee. Thank you very much. The route through England seems to be working. It is longer but safe. I will have Frost bean this year. I am curious how it will grow for me.

First of all, I wonder what lives in the mind of a person who sends such seeds to others. I also got nasty seeds a few times and only if I paid for them. It never happened to me when I swapped seeds with other gardeners. I only use such seeds when I have no other choice. Before sowing, I soak...

In Europe, this bean is called Jimenez :-)

@meadow Kenearly Yellow Eye is from Kentville, Nova Scotia and is an early bean. The name is a combination of the words Kentville + early. I found such an explanation on the internet once, but I don't remember the name of the page.

I opened the Annapolis Seeds website. I can see that it is refreshed and the name of the TdCB bean is indeed abbreviated. Two years ago, they were sending seeds outside Canada. Now I understand why I didn't get a reply when I wanted to do another shopping. I'm especially curious about Kodiak...

@Jack Holloway I am just a bean polyglot. I am looking for new varieties on the Internet and thanks to this I know how to name beans in several languages :D

Hello Jack Thibodeau du Comte Beauce is from Quebec and I got it from Canadian Annapolis Seeds. This is how the name of this bean is written on their website, just like on other Canadian websites. The French "du" corresponds to the English "from", so the English name would be Thibodeau from...
