Long day today. Would you believe finally planting my big bean patch. Left the house at 9 am today and got home a little after 7:30 pm. Wow! did a shower feel good tonight. Drank 3 quarts of water today. Will have to take some pictures tomorrow. 11 rows 46 feet long. Planted 63 varieties today about 96 more to go. Need a good dry day tomorrow.
Planted 1. Cape Sugar (one of the LEBN beans that member here helped to save). 2. Charlettown ( a bean I got from Hal). 3. Keeny's Stringless (another Hal bean. This bean is one of Calvin Keeny's early varieties. Calvin is the father of the stringless bean). 4. Nippersink (does that ring a bell. You can find it on one of the Bean Fashion Shows). 5. Purple Trout ( a recent outcross that looks like it's going to stablize fast). 6. TIgre (from Harriet Mella in Austria). 7. Tin Tan Seed (working name. You can find it in last autumns Bean Fashinon Show). 8. White Soldier (another recent outcross I'm working on). 9. Maine (something Mandy at Mandy's Greenhouse sent to me). 10.
