Russ's 2019 Bean Show Day #2
Bird Egg Blue - Bush Dry
This is an original bean of mine from the early 80's that I named. It's a little later than many of the bush dry beans I grow. The bean pretty much uses up the entire growing season to produce it seed and dry out. Sometimes I even wind up pulling plants out of the ground and hanging them in the garage to dry like I did this year. It grew fairly well this summer. One of our Canadian Network growers got this bean from me and she grows it for Heritage Harvest Seeds In Carmen, Ontario. They started selling the bean this past winter. The bean produced 9 ounces (255 grams) of seed on 8 plants. No off types. I don't think this bean is a promiscuous type. I've never seen it produce an off type.
