@heirloomgal , @Decoy1 I have not yet grown pole Mongeta del Ganxet and so I am reading with interest about your experiences with this bean. I plan to sow it next year. You write that it is a late bean so I will choose the Mongeta del Ganxet Xic ecotype, which is supposedly earlier than other...

I grew Robert Lobitz's Paula bean this year. I got two kinds of pods. Some are thinner and rounder in cross-section, others are wider and more flattened. Which of them is the true Paula, does any of you know?

I read in Bill Best's book that Frank Barnett has three different beans called Aunt Maggie from three different places in Kentucky. I wonder which one this one came from. There is a typo in the name. It should be Bareta, at least that's how it is written on the websites. Guy Dirix swapped this...

Gottscheeer Strankalan (three e's are the correct spelling) is a historic bean cultivated already in the times of the Habsburg Empire by the German-speaking community in Gottschee in the Carniola region in present-day Slovenia.

Hello! I haven't been able to access the forum website for a while. At first I thought it was temporary, but when it lasted a bit longer I wrote to @Blue-Jay and @heirloomgal . It turned out that they can enter the forum without any problems. @heirloomgal sent a message about my situation to...

The first pole beans are blooming. Rosso del Cadore Lengua de Lobo Some bush beans already have quite large pods, for example Dakota Bumble

Have you ever tried doing something like this with beans? My friend from the Polish gardening forum had the tops of her bean shoots break. She put them in a container with water and after a few days the roots appeared. The tops were planted in the garden three days ago. Photos by Emilia from...

Brazilian Bean #5 is amazing! It's probably a lima bean, judging by the shape of the pod.

@heirloomgal Beta (with one "t") is a Polish commercial variety from the 1980s. Poranek (Morning in English) is also a Polish tomato. I noticed the name Premus in another post. If you have it written down that it is a Polish variety, then the correct name is Prymus. Please, take a photo of the...

@Decoy1 here is some information about Bonel bean. The article is in Italian, but Uncle Google will definitely help you translate it :) https://www.venetoagricoltura.org/upload/pubblicazioni/E455%20Atlante%20tradizionali/Fagiolo%20bonel%20di%20Fonzaso.pdf I have not seen this bean seeds in...

Bonnellbas is very similar to the Bonel di Fonzaso pole bean from Veneto, Italy.

I didn't think I would buy this book in a Polish bookstore. This was probably a mistake because my must-have list will grow outrageously again 😆

This is the fourth year I will be trying to grow Pink Tip Greasy. In the past, the plants simply died. I no longer have the seeds from Blue-Jay, but Triffid gave me some, so maybe this year I can send back 60 nice seeds. It's a matter of honor :) Last year I returned Mother Earth and Fox Family...

Some beans started climbing. Zazza Tuvagliedda Nera Lengua de Lobo

Maybe the spelling depends on whether the name is masculine or feminine. I noticed that "rossa" occurs with names ending in "a", such as Tuvagliedda Rossa, Bala Rossa or Panzaredda Rossa. This is just my guess because I don't know the rules of the Italian language.

@Blue-Jay On the website of Domenico Belisario, a bean grower from Sarconi, the name Murusieddu Rosso appears, so I think this spelling is correct. Yes, this is the same bean I sent you.

2023 continuation. Red Rooster - Australian borlotto type bean. Rassacher Kipfler from Steiermark, Austria. I fell in love with kipfler beans. Attractive pods appearance and incredible fertility. I have several other varieties and I will grow them regularly. Monachello di Esino Lario...

A few more beans from 2023. Kitoba I took photos a little late because the seeds were already starting to change color. Right after shelling, they were all violet. Tunny Buddha's Bellybutton Pale Grey Lavender Mother Earth

@BeanWonderin I had Mugungi last year. The seed color is graphite with a black ring around the eye. I didn't notice any blue shades. Small seeds, one of the smallest in my collection.
