Boy, I sure crowded these, didn’t I?

@flowerbug I thought surely I was the only living earthling left that still used the noodle saying. I believe it used to be said 50 lashes across the eyeball with a wet noodle, but I know good and well I wouldn’t want to be popped in the eyeball with nothing, not even a noodle. Hahahaaaa

I planted some Tennessee Cutshort in a bucket Saturday night. In fact, the same bucket I grew them in last year. Soil amended of course. All my beans are still in the freezer, but I found the vine in the shed that still had a couple beans left on it from last year. 13 beans into the bucket they...

Just popping in to say Hi! Here’s to Another year of bean talk! Does it get any better than friends with Beanifits? Hahaha! There I go laughing at my own joke!

Slut....now there’s a name for a bean! I wonder if it crosses easily? LAUGHING!!!!!

@Zeedman I’d order several pkgs if they’d do a grow out, just to get fresh seed back in my possession.

@Zeedman Mike Dutton from Victory Seed Company returned my email about Ralph’s Italian Heirloom. If there is enough interest they will do a grow out. I’ve been on the waitlist since 2018. If anyone is interested, I’d urge you to join the waitlist...

@Zeedman That one above kinda reminds me of an Oreo cookie.

These two are beautimoose!

You got my attention. I’m a cowpea lover!

Russ, Not with total certainty, but it sure looks like some type of cowpea.

@Bluejay77 My mistake. I didn’t see the rest of the name. My vision isn’t good and I miss things sometimes. Imbotyi Imswi - Bush maybe snap from South Africa - Only 13 seeds left

@Bluejay77 On your first post where you listed beans. Africa - Only 13 seeds left I was hoping someone attempted a grow out.

@Bluejay77 It sure looks as though you had a great season of bean grow outs! Do you do all that work by yourself? Also, Do you do an end of year progress report on the network beans? I was just curious how many participants and how many bean varieties were grown. One of the beans I was...

After some research, it seems Calico Crowder was also called polecat once upon a time.

I’ve never grown them. I just really hate it when varieties go the way of the caveman

@Zeedman I just sent you a pm.

Thanks @flowerbug There’s a story behind why I’m asking, but it’s a long one. I have some cowpea seed headed my way that were crossed. The peas are very rare and were grown by a man from the 1920’s until somewhere around 1965 in this area. I grew up in this area during 70’s/80’s. I can’t find...

I have a question about crosses. Once crossed, is there any chance of getting the original back to growing true? For simplicity’s sake, you have a blue bean and it crosses with a yellow bean. If you grow out the crossed seed, what are the chances of ever getting that blue bean back and it being...

@Zeedman Ralph’s is that one bean that I have tried and tried to get seed for. All my seeds from way back when were dead. Annette had seeds from Victory and here is what she said back in 2018. —————————————————— Went out and had a look today, loads of beans showing up but they sure look like...
