One of two surviving half-runner beans, the second one was Tinker's Fire. The others were washed away by water during a heavy storm. The seeds I sowed came from some original Native Seeds/SEARCH seeds that I got from @saritabee some time ago. I had a very good harvest.

Rosso del Cadore from Veneto, Italy. One of the earliest pole beans I have ever had. I picked my first dry pods in late July/early August. Only Lengua de Lobo can match it.
Murusieddu Nero - pole from Sarconi, Basilicata, Italy. This bean, like Panzaredda, was grown in a place that was too...
The Zazza seeds I sowed looked similar to the ones in the picture. The colors were already oxidized. A year without a fridge or freezer is enough for this.
Great! Thank you @Triffid. We will discuss the details in PM.
@Triffid, I don't feed my beans with anything special. Before sowing, I give nitrogen and potassium to the soil and later, when the plants have grown a bit, magnesium sulfate with microelements to the leaves. I guess I won't get a Michelin star for this :)
The exact weight of the Zazza seeds is...
Zazza - pole bean from Val Camonica, Lombardy, Italy. Very productive, from two plants I got almost 2 kg of seeds.
Panzaredda - pole bean from Sarconi, Basilicata, Italy. It was growing in too dry place and most of the seeds are smaller than they should be.
Barba di Frate - pole bean...
In that case I will keep the Golden Bear Lake seeds at room temperature longer. They were already frozen so the weevils will not appear.
This is true, but the seeds are clearly smaller than they should be. That's why I did not send them to you as a return. I think I have finally found a place...
Two more beans selected by @Blue-Jay
Golden Bear Lake - bush bean. Seeds freshly shelled from pods look white. A delicate light beige pattern appears after some time.
Gray Mountain - pole. Quite a late bean, but I managed to harvest a lot of nice seeds.
Frost - pole. This is my entire...
In Polish, "pupa" is a delicate term for the part of the body on which we sit :)
Languages are fun. Polish and Czech are similar to each other, theoretically we can understand each other, but attention is needed because some words pronounced the same have the opposite or completely different...
@jbrobin09,
the variety names are in Latvian, I will also write an English translation from Google. These are local cultivars and the names are not official.
Cīruļoliņas (Larks)
Gaiši Brūni Lāsumainās (Light Brown Spotted)
Omas Pupas (Grandma's Bean)
Omas ar Zilo Svītriņu (Grandma's with...
@Blue-Jay, I have not tried eating the green pods of Alice Sunshine. I have only had a few bushes. I grow Polish beans to eat fresh pods. Here we have many varieties intended for this purpose, especially waxes which are very popular.
@heirloomgal , from my experience I know that the operation of the Post as an institution is one Great Mystery, regardless of the country in which operates. And I really don't know what I can smoke or take to understand this Great Mystery.:)
By the way, sorry about my previous post. I guess I...
@Blue-Jay, @flowerbug you found a great topic for conversation. I should be more worried because war is approaching my country with great strides. Especially after recent events. I'm a reserve infantry NCO of mobilization age, so if anything, I will have a shorter way to death than you. Maybe I...
Great! Thank you @Blue-Jay . I will send you a PM.
Your stock of Sy Maa seeds from Joseph Simcox will not grow because they were in a package that went missing last year. That is why I also noticed this bean, but it is currently out of stock.
I would like to ask you for help again. While searching for information about the Speckled Saba lima that I recently received I came across the Roughwood Seed website. They have some beans I would like to have. Unfortunately they do not ship seeds outside the US. Could one of you order them for...
