The 2014 Little Easy Bean Network - Get New Beans On The Cheap

Welcome Rick!

Wishing everyone a great growing season in 2015, since we've had such a mild winter I'm hoping to get some of my beans planted out in April, those that need a longer growing season. Although I don't participate in Russ' growouts, darn border, I follow it with great interest and drool over all the interesting looking beans you guys are growing. I only grow in small amounts, just enough for a taste (each meal a different bean ) enough seed for my stash and enough to share with a few, help in a small way keep them in circulation, so many heirlooms have been lost over the years .

Probably just a few weeks. Bluejay should be back form his winter vacation fairly soon. I think he said sometime in April.

Hi Everyone !

This Blue Jay will begin his northward migration on March 29. Should arrive at my summer bean growing grounds on about March 30 or April 1st. The very first thing I will do is post the 2015 thread. Right now my bean ground is covered in 4 inches of snow, but the sun is getting stronger everyday and the winter like weather will soon be gone. I'll probably be mowing grass in 4 weeks, and be doing my first transplanting of little 3 to 4 inch tall tomato plants.

I'll save room for a couple in my garden . . . just not sure how.

You might be surprised at how lovely a bean trellis would look in the front flower garden. It is not necessary to hide them out back in the veggie beds.

Bush beans and cowpeas in the front.

Hi Everyone !

My brother wanted me to stop by his place in Illinois for a short visit. So I will be back home on Thursday and probably have the new thread up by Friday. Just thought maybe some of you would like to know.
