So here is the skinny on Bamberger Blaue - I keep one box per bean variety, and as the pods dry I add them to their designated box. I had already opened one of the BB's offtype pole pods so I knew what it looked like compared to the regular bush BB. But these are all the kinds of seeds that came out of those pods from that box. I am 100% sure that no pods from other varieties were mixed in by accident (I'm very OCD about that!), nor did I have any other varieties that looked like these growing last year. And every pod from each BB plant matured, so there were none left to waste. It's a bit of a mystery to me; the only thing I can think is the pole had different kinds of beans on it.
