Congratulations @BeanieQueen ! It seems that the German interpretation of the EU directives is less restrictive than the Polish and French ones.

I wanted to set up a typical tomato and bean Facebook account, but they blocked me before I could write anything.

And let someone say that gardening is conducive to mental relaxation. If things go wrong, it's possible that I'll be growing beans in the prison yard when I get there for smuggling :)

@Bluejay77 , thank you very much! I'm going to have to issue more wanted posters than I expected :)

For many years, I get up for work at 4 am, so I already have an alarm clock in my head. Unfortunately, I wake up automatically which is quite annoying at times :)

@BeanieQueen Until July 2021, all shipments from outside the EU reached me without any problem. Then customs regulations changed due to the trade war against Chinese e-commerce giants, and now even the smallest packages with commercial goods are subject to customs duties. Parcels described as a...

I use fertilizer for geraniums NPK 4-6-8 with microelements, at a dose of 6 milliliters per liter, weekly. Besides, I'm watching. The plant will always tell you when it is hungry and what it would like to eat :) @meadow, I have a few Quaker Bush seeds and they need multiplication. We will be...

I have not tried to grow typical pole strains in this way, only bush, semi-runner and low half-runner. Under greenhouse conditions, beans grow very strongly. I sow seeds only once, one seed in a 3-4 liter pot. I usually harvest the pods twice, sometimes three, depending on the variety. After the...

Yes, I have ecological blinds in the summer :)

Every year, in mid-February, I plant beans whose seeds I have in very small quantities. They grow in pots on window sills. In this way, last year, I multiplied the seeds of such beans: Jesse Fisk Refugee Wolverine's Orca Trahumara Bakamina. @saritabee gave me some original seeds from...

@heirloomgal Yes, this is the bean I sent you. Wachtelbohne aus Unterfranken is the full name of this variety.

I also say "hello" in a new thread. I read the list of beans to renew. I have seeds of a few of them so I will be able to plant reserve varieties. Just in case.

During my Christmas vacation I managed to take some more pics of beans from 2022. Tarahumara Dark Purple - pole.This year I sowed seeds harvested in 2021 and the beans grew great. The vast majority of the pods dried on the bushes. The color of the seeds is also better than in the previous...

@heirloomgal if you are interested in Italian beans check out this link https://www.legumichepassione.com/litalia-dei-legumi.html This is, in my opinion, the best site for traditional Italian varieties. You will find here not only beans, but also other legumes. Just click on the selected map...

@Bluejay77 do you have a list of beans grown by Ernest B. Dana?

Yes, I am interested in Kodiak Pinto bean. Unfortunately, Annapolis Seeds no longer ships outside of Canada.

@heirloomgal, will you be ordering seeds from Annapolis Seeds?

@flowerbug, so this variant can be described as Spotted Pheasant, right?

The Flowerbugs continue :) Yed - semi runner. Very original seeds. I have never seen the colors red and yellow so interpenetrating each other. I managed to collect a decent amount of seeds. I have many more than in the photo. Some of them are less photogenic, but suitable for sowing. They were...

@Bluejay77, my Bubblegum pods didn't have a uniform bright pink color, although the more ripe they were, the more pink there was. I still have a few seeds from the ones you sent me so I will plant them again sometime, but certainly not next year. This is probably not a stable bean yet and...
