@Branching Out Such damage occurs when, after a long period of drought, the beans receive too much water at once. The center of the seed swells rapidly and the coat splits.

@colcol If you would like to find more information about Tongue of Fire bean on Google, try entering its original Italian name Lingua di Fuoco in the search engine.

Yesterday I harvested the first dry pods of Rassacher Kipfler, Tuvagliedda Marrone and Socere e Nore della Majella. Rassacher Kipfler from Steiermark, Austria - ripe pods... ... and some less ripe ones. I'm still waiting for some later varieties such as Hallados Grandos, Murusieddu Rosso...

Yes, these are beans from Catalonia.

@heirloomgal It's amazing! I had a similar vision, but I ate some mushrooms 😂

Another half pink bean I grew this year. Pink Trout

It seems that some Catalan beans are too late for our climate. Only now is my Floreta fully forming pods. It's hard, I won't give up, I'll think of something to collect nice seeds in the future.

@heirloomgal If you like pink beans, you might be interested in these. It's true that it's only half pink, but half is better than nothing :) I didn't have much seed before, but that's changed now. Monachello di Esino Lario from Lombardy, Italy

@flowerbug I'm sure it's some kind of disease, probably phytophthora. The stems were brown inside. This may have been due to the quite intense rains that fell throughout the week. The soil was soaked like a sponge. It appears that some varieties are more resistant to it than others.

I was fishing for Tunny today :)

@heirloomgal I consider the season to be a success, especially the bush beans, they gave me a lot of beautiful seeds. Unfortunately, not all climbing beans wanted to cooperate with me. Some of them grew very nicely, and suddenly the tops of the shoots curled into springs, and then the entire...

All of my Tinker's Fire seeds that I have collected so far look like the ones you sent me. There are no new segregations.

I'm also growing Van Gogh's Olive this year, but the pods on my plants are just starting to ripen. Hello again after a short break :)

@heirloomgal, Frauenbohne is definitely a bush bean, but the plants are quite tall compared to others. I grew Dead Man's Tooth as a network bean in 2021. All 11 plants grew as true bush. I sowed the remaining seeds from the sample the following year and it was similar.

My pitiful Floreta seeds I collected last year have also sprouted and the plants are starting to climb. Maybe this year I will be able to collect more better quality seeds. @heirloomgal , we have Genoll de Crist seeds from the same source and it's good to know that there are problems with their...

Yes, when the pines dusted everything was yellow, as if covered with sulfur. I thought my friend at work was going to sneeze to death because he's allergic.

@heirloomgal , it was similar in my place when the poplars were dusting :)

I also planted Peau de Vache Normande in the pot. It was supposed to be bush bean but it turned out that it is not quite stable yet. In the pot it began to climb strongly. The seeds have retained their color but are smaller and thinner. The shape resembles the seeds of one of the parent...

My first harvest this year. Beans planted in pots to multiply the number of seeds. Quaker Bush - all the leaves have fallen off and the plant has finished growing. Lillooet - there were only four pods, but that's 16 more seeds. The plant is blooming again. Buddha's Bellybutton - It's a...

I'm also starting, the weather forecasts are promising and therefore I will not be making seedlings this year. I plan to put the previously sprouted seeds directly into the holes in the ground. I will cover the rows with a layer of black compost earth, they will warm up faster.
