You can insert the link to the video. I would like to see it and listen to it.

@heirloomgal, Finally today I thought it was a long time since you sent your package to the Linden, New Jersey inspection station. So I decided to call them. They tell me the area in the plant where they keep packages that are ready to be forwarded is empty. I'm suspecting that they have sent...

Hi Artorious ! I can order seed from Roughwood for you. The owner there is food historian and author William Woys Weaver. He orders from me from time to time. We exchange emails with each other. I'm even working on a little project of finding some bean varieties for the Roughwood collection...

Wow ! All three of those beans are absolutely beautiful. I wish Sweetwater would look like that when grown here. I got more red than white with spotting. Not too bad I guess but I would like to see a little smaller area of red. Sweetwater - Bush Taken in 2018

There is a seed swap coming up the first Saturday in April that is much closer to you than Berea, Kentucky. It is in Pikeville, Kentucky and I will be there. It's called The Appalachian Heritage Annual Seed Swap. At the Pike Central High School, 100 Winners Circle.

Greasy beans don't take any longer to mature than the non-greasy types.

Your first package is at the Linden inspection station. It's been there since January 21. I'm sure they are going to forward it to me. I made a trade of beans with a gal from BC and it went through the Linden inspection process and I've gotten the package long time ago. I'm not concerned about...

We call them seed swaps here but there is very little swapping going on. Most of the vendors sell seed at our swaps. Did you sell seed or was it a give away affair? If you sold seed I hope you got enough for them.

Wow all your beans are beautilful ! The beans that came out of the bush plants look just like Dana's Soldier.

Someone sent me a photo of an empty seed packet with the name on it. It is supposed to be a bush green bean.

@BeanieQueen, Have you ever heard of a German bush green bean called Karnick or Kenrick. Supposed to be pre 1800.

Hi BeanieQueen, I mailed you a package on January 23. Botosani Cylops, Holstein, Southwest Gold, Southwest Red, Sunrise, Tanzanian Grey, And Winterfare. Is that the package you wanting to recieve.

@heirloomgal Wow ! what a nice and professional looking seed display. I don't know when your seedy Saturday is but when it comes hope you do great and have a lot of fun meeting and talking to all your buyers. It is Sunday afternoon now and I'm back from the Central Indiana Seed Swap. It was a...

I think I'm quite good. In May, June, July, August I did a lot of walking a mile a day. I started back driving my mini van about the third week of June. Since then I've done all my own grocery shopping. I do my normal house cleaning myself. August through the end of October. I attended...

Eventually all this crazy stuff with machines being down and people being impatient will settle down and go away eventually. It's too bad it's been so crazy with the mail strike and all. It's unpleasant to have to put up with it but the winds of change will blow it all away. I'm not leaving...

Welcome @heartsong111. Nice to have you along. Send me an email at upadam@comcast.net and tell me that you want to grow the September blue and give me your name and address and I'll try to get those beans out to you soon.

The seed packets that contain seed that I send out are 2 x 3 inches or 5 x 7.62 cm. The larger return packets are 3 x 4 inches or 7.62 x 10.16 cm. The thickness of both sizes are 4 mil.

Oh @Triffid ! Those are such gorgeous beans all of them. So nice to gaze upon.

YES a very BIG YES ! Too much junk mail coming and for those who put it out cheap. I didn't mean to complain about the next postal increase coming 1-19-25. I can't mail package cheaper by any of the shipping companies. The postal rates a way, way cheaper than UPS, FedEx and the rest of them.

Guy Dirix from Belgium told me something interesting I wasn't aware of about the pole bean Veitch's climbing. According to U.P.Hedrick --Beans of NY-1931-pag.22-- 'Veitch's Climbing' is a synoniem of ‘Climbing French’, a climbing sport of the bush bean ‘Canadian Wonder'
