We have had rain for 5 days straight and are supposed to get more. I have been trying to pick beans pods between rains and dry them inside but many of the seeds are already starting to germinate. Is there any way to save these seeds? Is it possible to refrigerate the seeds that are sprouting so...

Russ - I have 3 plants of Family growing so there should be fresh seeds of that variety.

Russ - I got my package of beans last week. What a lovely bunch of beans.Thank you so much. Now that taxes are done, I can get them organized and ready to plant!! I am getting excited about gardening again even though we are still almost a month away from bean planting time.

I'm glad to hear the Fanoman seeds arrived safely. I'm looking forward to next year and praying for no flash floods!

Russ - The Fanoman seeds are on their way. I'm excited about growing more next year. I've been researching the list of next years beans. Can we send you a list yet of the beans we are interested in growing?

Russ - I have been shelling out some of my earlier picked beans and I found some Fanoman beans. No wonder they weren't producing later. They had done their thing before our heat & drought hit! I will get them in the mail to you but probably after Christmas.

I'm happy to hear the seeds arrived. I enjoyed trying out the different varieties. I especially liked the Flor de Mayo and the Yeome Pastel Eye. They have a beautiful seed coloration. Thanks for letting me participate. I would definitely like to be part of the project next year!

Russ - Our frost held off long enough that I got several more Badda seeds. They have a pale color at the eye so hopefully they will develop the full color pattern. I have 25 or more of all the varieties except Fanoman ready to go. Fanoman refused to produce! I just found your address on my...

Russ - I have seeds of most of the beans. Fanoman has not produced any viable seeds yet and since we are a couple of weeks away from expected frost date, I don't think I will get any. Badda di Polizzi Blanda Long Seeded produced 17 seeds that are viable but they don't look exactly like the...

I do have the two plants in pots. Our first frost is probably 12 weeks away also. I put the pots in a protected place on the patio tonight as the storms are rolling through yet again.

My last two seeds of the pink podded burgundy Bolitas germinated and are looking good.

Wow! Those are wonderful looking beans. I may have to get my husband to plow up more garden area this fall. I have plants growing of all the seeds I received except the Pink Podded Burgundy Bolita. Nothing germinated from it. I have two seeds left that I will try in a pot. The Badda, Dow...

We have been having torrential rains here. I got about three quarters of my pole beans planted and a few days later had such a hard fast rain that the sprouting beans washed away. I was out after the rain squelching through the mud trying to find the seeds. I identified the ones I could and...

We live in the country and it always seems to take a little longer with the mail. It is time to plant beans here if it would stop raining for a while.

Russ - I got your seeds yesterday. Thank you so much. I can hardly wait to get them planted!

And thank you Marshall for the information on the Badda beans. I always like the story behind the beans. It makes collecting them so much more interesting.

Thanks, Russ. I'm looking forward to getting the beans. We have had a lot of rain and flooding so I haven't been able to plant any beans yet. I like to plant my beans alphabetically within their type so now I can plant the new beans in their proper order. And yes, I know that's weird but I find...

Thanks for the information, Marshall. I was doing some research on the beans and didn't find information on a couple of them. What is the story on the Badda beans? I didn't find any information on them or the Yoeme beans.

Thanks everyone for your welcome. I am looking forward to this year's gardening season! Nancy

I have grown several types of beans. I enjoy gardening but beans are my obsession! I have three acres in my back yard and I keep making my husband rototill more of it every year. I would like to try Flor de Mayo, Yoeme Pastel Eye, Pink Podded Burgundy Bolitas, Fanomen, Badda di Polizzi Blanda...
