Thanks SeedObesser for the heads up on the other forum. Your my right hand man on that one. I don't usually think about checking into that one. I'll get to it today.

If you have any extra Marshallsmyth I would love some

=====

Sure thing Honeycomb!

So far my seed send to list includes

Russ
SeedO
Digit
Thistle
NinnyMary
Honeycomb

PM conversation me your address Honeycomb. I have more than just Beans Honeycomb. I'm trying to cycle through my seeds before they turn to dust. Tomato crosses I made, corn, brassicaceae,

Has everyone sent Russ the seed return? My trip to the post office is 80 miles round trip, and 23 of those miles are hard dirt canyon road with hairpin turns and ice and snow. One spot on the road has 2 crosses that are 10 years old and a third nearby cross that is from the '70's. The canyon drop to the Eel River is, i don't know, 700 feet at some places.

That is quite a trip sir! Marshall is that the same Eel River the Melon takes its name from?

Bluejay77, I just sent off the bean seeds package this morning. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get to you this time of year. :caf

Thank you So Lucky. That still leaves 7 or 8 who have not done their parts.

Hal, yes it is the same Eel River, but I'm pretty sure that melon was developed at a different fork of the river.

But there are a couple of mysterious places along this fork of the river where it might have something to do with it. One place at the top of the blue slide area has a retired farmer's place hidden up the hill, another down from there is owned by a "professor". Who knows what goes on. Folks up here can be so mysterious. It's a place where those of us who live up here for any length of time "can" because of the enjoyment of being away from civilisation.

But I do think that melon is from a fork of the river farther north, maybe nearer willits or farther north.

Thank you very much for the info, I appreciate it.
I'm off to catch some sleep, drop me a PM sometime I'd like to sort out what beans your interested so I know what to put aside at the end of my season. I'm still planting up until the end of Jan.

Hey So Lucky !

The seeds you sent of Purple Amazon and Petaluma Gold Rush arrived yesterday in the mail. That was pretty fast. Thank you so much, and hope to have you back for the 2014 Little Easy Bean Network if you would like to do it again.

Merry Christmas Everyone !
