ok, finally, thank you for being patient... :) got last run of fence up (for now, i think we're buying another roll Monday when we get the truck).

i'm not sure what you need grown out from your original list now that you've had people selecting from the list that was first posted and i know you have growers that don't post here in this thread.


if you'd like to add to this list any bush and semi-runners you need grown out please do. mainly i like the early, round and smaller types of beans.

i am also looking for lima beans that are bush beans and also NOT white beans if you can think of any.


Bush Beans

Bomba
Fisher
Improved Golden Wax
White Refugee


Semi Runners

Hidatsa Shield


Pole Beans

Ottis Stuart - Pole Snap bean a lady in Australia sent to me.
Blaugraue - Dry bean with bluish looking round seeds.
Adams Family Six Weeks - Snap bean


Bonus Beans (added the two from last year that i missed)

Conserva
Flossie Powell
Frost (even a small sample of these would be great)
Green Savage

Victoria Brown Eyes
True Red Cranberry or Red Bolito (whichever you have to spare)


thank you again, i hope you have plenty of growers this year?

I’m here I’m here I promise!!

The farm gets busy busy and it’s hard for me to find time to write a post. I post a lot on Instagram because I can record a short video and upload it easy peasy!

I planted the varieties you sent me today.

Red swan
Atwater
Mona Lisa
Tanyas pink pod
Pale grey lavender
Kutasi princess

I also planted:

Slippery silks, dragon tongue, purple queen, fort portal jade, bamburger bluae, birds egg blue, magpie, calima, purple dove....

And filling my trellis with pretzel bean, grape, turkey craw, jeminez, Juanita Smith, rattlesnake, Logan giant, Seychelles, rams horn, aunt ada’s Italian, good mother stallards, lavigneronne, Tobacco worm, Choctaw, lilaschecke.....

Probably more. I’m still selecting. Isn’t that crazy!?!

If any of the additionals strike your interest Russ I can tuck some Into the fall package back. Just let me know!

@Raiquee,

So neat to see you posting here this year. I'm sure you get very busy on the farm. Fun time of the year it gets your adrenalin flowing. I don't think your crazy for still selecting. I want to grow more varieties than I got room for or energy to take care of.

Alright @Lady0bug,

The mail moved them pretty fast. I think shipping beans in the box is the best way to go. They can't run boxes through canceling machines. They might not have sorting machines for boxes either. Either way the box affords better protection for the beans. I sent the Eden Prairie along. If you don't grow that one this year. I think I would stick them in the freezer until next year.
