Well done and cheers for organising this Citychick :-*

Hi DadnLad,
I received some of your Tamilla beans from the swap but I can find nothing about them via Google. Can you tell me more about them?
Cheers!

I contacted the HSL for info about this one and they sent me the info below. (Note: HSL say this is a dwarf bean, but these seeds are definitely for a climbing bean. Maybe a previous grower has selected them just for the climbing variation?)
"Tamila"
Named after our donor's best friend this variety originates in the village of Kostilnyky, western Ukraine, an area where traditional crops continue to be grown on a large scale. The plants do show some variability, with some determined to climb, a normal characteristic of this type of local variety. Produces a heavy crop of pretty pink beans, best used for drying.

Barkingdog - as Citychick says, Tamilla are a climber(well they did for us ;D) we didnt try the pods fresh, but allowed them to dry till first frost, and used them in stews etc, much like Borlotti beans
