Bean cross-pollination

[Suzee]

Th

i should have mentioned in my first reply that common beans are generally self-pollinating and so most of what you get back from plantings should be close to what you planted.

the times there are some bees or other pollinators around they can do some cross breeding for you but it should not be the majority of what you harvest.

when growing the plants for the next year pay attention to the leaves and growth habits of the plants and remove any plants which do not match the rest. other hints that a cross has happened can be different colored flowers or different colors or shapes of the bean pods.

Thanks! I will do that
