2024 Little Easy Bean Network - Growing Heirloom Beans Of Today And Tomorrow

[Boilergardener]

It could be arranged for lyou to grow Early Warwick, George's Bean, and the Pea Bean Turkey. If you would lilke to grow a full pint jar of Early Warwick and weed out all the small, stained, mishappened seed, and seed with the seed coats not fully formed. I would pay you $30.00 plus postage to mail those back to me. The other two beans you could just send back the normal 60 I ask for.

Awesome, I will request pea bean thank you. I grow Early Warwick every year, I think I have one of those large half gallon mason jars full of Early Warwick, but the original seed was from Adaptive seeds. I have grown a strain from you also a few yrs ago and I might have a half-pint of those. I grew a lot of George's beans this past year and I have about a half gal mason jar of those and major cooks also. They are great and prolific

Sounds like you got most of those seeds already. You just need the Pea Bean Turkey. Email me your name and address to upadam@comcast.net. I'll mail out the Pea Bean next week.

Another 2023 bean.

Dakota Bumble - bush mix.
In 2022 I grew three colors that I received from Great Lakes Staple Seeds. They were white, black and black Jacob's Cattle type. Last year, thanks to @meadow kindness, I was able to grow another ones.

Medium-sized, purple Jacobs Cattle type.




Solid purple.




Very dark purple, almost black Jacobs Cattle type.The seeds are large and more kidney-shaped, densely spotted.




White with a black mark near the eye. The seeds I sowed had a full black ring around the eye. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the same pattern. Maybe it's the soil's fault. This year I will try to grow it in a different place.

Gorgeous beans Artorius! I grew Dakota Bumble this year too, and it was one of my favourite beans. They dried down early, were productive, and did they ever taste good in chili.

@Bluejay77 Russ do you have any other germination reports on the batch of Fat Man from last year's network? I attempted to germinate them on two separate occasions and nothing showed. I have two seeds left but I'm not hopeful.

The day has finally arrived that I can post a link to my website! This is still a work in progress, and probably will be for some time. It can't be viewed, for now, from certain browsers and with some mobile devices. iphones seem compatible but desktops are the ideal way to view it. It is all a bit repetitive since most of what's on there has been posted here. Anyway, I'm chipping away at it daily and have recently gotten hung up trying to insert a place holder I dowloaded into the empty bean spots! Wish me luck, I need it! lol

I don't have any germination record for Fat Man anymore. As I packaged new seed for the freezer I deleted some of the old records. I think @Decoy1 grew the bean successfully this past summer. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have anymore Fat Man samples here. They were all given out to two growers overseas. One in the UK and one in the Netherlands. I'm still waiting for packages to come back. I think this is an example that it wouldn't be a bad idea that packages go into the mail by the 20 of November at the latest. This also might avoid a lot of the Christmas deluge. I think you will find your seed drier than you think it is by then. @heirloomgal wants to grow Fat Man this coming summer.
