Oh, NY! How I miss your bouncy, loving nature here. I miss you like the flower misses the sun. I will think of you when I garden, when I find a bargain, when I upcycle junk and old finds, but mostly I'll think of you when I search this place for you and cannot find your funny, entertaining posts. You loved and were loved by many.
Hmmm... comments limited to 420 characters. I am also interested in the Lazy Housewife (original strain) but will get that from SSE. ... BTW, while viewing Monte Gusto, the Vermont Bean website displays "you may also like - Fortex & Emerite"... interesting given my mention of them on the green bean thread. I grow 3/4 of the varieties they recommend, and am acquiring the 4th - it seems they have me figured out. ;-)
I appreciate your offer of seed. I am considering Monte Gusto, since I have a special interest in pole wax beans. The description doesn't mention seed color, I have thus far avoided the many heirloom pole varieties which are white seeded (all of mine are black or bi-color black, brown, or olive green). If the pods are as long as the photo, I may grow it regardless.
