Jembo Polish - Pole Snap/Shell/Dry - 2022

I discovered this bean at the Sustainable Mountain Agricultural Seed Swap in Berea, Kentucky in 2015. Another bean with some of the characteristics of Jeminez but just not as long of pods. Large seeded bean. Total seed harvested from 7 plants in 2022 was 24.75 ounces (701.65 gm)

Jembo Polish - Pole Snap/Shell/Dry - 2022

This bean originally comes from the Sądecczyzna region, south of the Malopolska in southern Poland, where it had been traditionally grown and eaten in preceding centuries. This bean is also known by its other name, or “fasola niepodległości”, which in Polish means “independence bean”.

@Bluejay77, don't be angry, but I would like to correct this.
The description you gave is for a different bean. Independence Bean is another name for Polska Fasola z Orzełkiem / Polish Bean with Eagle. The colors of this bean are our national colors, and the mark around the eye resembles the Polish national emblem.

This is a Polish bean variety whose name means literally “Polish bean with eagle”: it is white with a distinctive red mark on its belly side

Jembo Polish, as the name suggests, may have come to the USA with Polish immigrants long ago, but at the moment its cultivation in Poland has disappeared. Maybe it will reborn because I've sent seeds to a few people.

Well thank you for the correction. This description I gave came up when I googled what is the history of Jembo Polish bean.

Junin- Bush Dry - 2022

It's been 9 years since I last grew this bean and it didn't do so well in the soil I grew it in this year. Yet some other beans surrounding it did very well. Acquired this bean in 2013 from a grower in Germany. According to USDA documents this bean was said to be from an Andean gene pool, wild common beans, from an area around Junin, Peru. Of course that is probably the long ago ancestral history of it's origin. Seed harvested from this bean was 5.10 ounces for 10 plants (144.58 gm)

Koronis Giant Pinto - Bush Dry - 2022

Another Robert Lobitz bean that I regrew this year as I was not impressed with it's seed production last year. The bean did much better grown in a different location this year. Last years soil PH was 7.3 this year the soil Ph was 6.1. Total seed from this bean this year was 10.60 ounces (300.50 gm)

Koronis Little Red Trout - Bush Dry - 2022

A Robert Lobitz introduction through a listing through the Seed Savers Exchange yearbook about 22 years ago. This beans seed production was better than last year. However the seed quality was very good in both seasons. It's names describes it well. Just like a very small Jacob's Cattle bean. Total seed this year from 10 plants was 7.20 ounces (204.11 gm)

Koronis Tan Trout - Bush Dry - 2022

This is another Robert Lobitz bean and I suspect it might have come out of the same outcross and Koronis Little Red Trout. It doesn't grow as well as the red one and I've tried it in two different soils. Seed collected from this variety this year for 10 plants was 6.45 ounces (182.85 gm).
