I should be able to put in quitre a few shelling beans:ClimbersBoxPolish ClimbingEgyptian Pea-BeanBridgewaterMinnesota Purple Mennonite StripeBlue LakeMarvel of VeniceBirds EggBorlottiGiganda (Giant butter bean but it's not the same species)DwarfSoldier BeanYin -YangErnies Big-Eye BeanArranescoplus the green beansCobra and Speedie..... might not have many of the Speedie so don't count on it.Don't envy you the counting out job BTW, it might make sense if we all pre-split them into tens?chrisc
I've managed to have a few of the Gigandas too... massive great things, you couldn't mistake them for anythign else, leaving the crop now and praying that I get some to dry out for seed.... will be takign all the currnet flowers off this weekend to force the food into already set beans....
I might have my very own new variety as well.... looks like I've got a melanic sport in the pea-beans..... I only planted two black-seeded varieties and it's neither of them.... can't be black pencil-pod wax, that's a dwarf and the pod is very different to both that and the Cherokee ToT's... it looks like a black-podded, black seeded pea-bean.... if it comes true to seed next year then I announce the creation of "Crosskey's Nubian pea-bean"....chrisc
ONe thought on the packaging front.... we'll all be sending them in precounted in tens I assume?... why not sellotape the beans to a piece of cardboard, with the type written on the cardboard. Masking tape might make more sense than sellotape thinking about it cos it floats off with water.... and easier to write on too if you want. Should make it easier for the central redistribution. chrisc
