Better yet is that both Glenn and I got a crop this year. I am growing them in North Alabama! These beans are a population composed of some beans that are pure black, some that are pure white, and some that are 'painted' with purple and black like the painted lady beans. All are in the very large range except the white beans which are somewhat flattened which reduces their weight. A "population" means that this is not a single pure strain, rather, it is a group of strains saved as a seed line. These beans make gorgeous scarlet flowers which persist over the summer. Several plants are still blooming in my garden. The pure white seed produce plants that mostly make white flowers. These make a good contrast with the red flowers. These beans are much more tolerant of hot weather than most runner beans. Still, they will not make a crop here in the deep south unless special precautions are taken. Plant them just as early as possible, a week before last frost is just about right. Water if they get dry, these beans do NOT like hot and dry conditions. These beans benefit from having a shade producing crop on the south side. My rows are roughly east/west so I planted corn on the south side of the beans. The corn is tall enough to give just a bit of shade late in the evening. They make vigorous runners and need a strong trellis at least 6 feet tall. I use a trellis made from 8 ft T-posts with a wire at top and bottom and zigzagging hay twine for the plants to grow up. Use well anchored supports to hold things up, a wind storm can lay them down because of the huge mass of foliage. Beans are produced from the ground up. I picked the earliest pods right at ground level and have had successive pickings going up the plants. Once beans are picked at ground level, they do not tend to re-bloom down low, rather new blooms are formed higher in the plant. If the trellis is high enough, they will keep climbing and blooming. Flower pollination is best at cooler temps in the range of 70 degrees. Once summer temps hit 90+, expect almost all of the flowers to bloom and then drop un-pollinated. Bumblebees and/or mason bees seem to work the blooms to some extent early in the season, but when the heat is on, they are ignored. Overall, I am very pleased with the growth and performance of these beans. These are the ONLY runner beans I have ever had success growing.

I don't want to impede on anyone's generosity, but I would love to have a few of these beans! I've always wanted to try runner beans, but I live in Texas and I know runners typically don't like heat AT ALL. I noticed someone said these beans will set even in the heat. I would love to try them here in Dallas. I have some mammoth melting snow peas, green arrow peas, speckled cranberry beans, and black beluga lentils I can trade. I know the email system is apparently wonky with the transfer to houzz. You can email me directly at gardencat999@gmail.com - it's where the email would go anyway. I also just read through part 1 of this thread, and I learned a LOT about runners! And I just want to say: I know a few people are thinking of leaving this site because of the change, and I really hope you all do not leave. Your information and comments are invaluable to this site. I know I've never commented before, but I wanted you to know I've learned a lot from you and hope to learn a lot more. Sorry to get sappy on you - I had to say it! Aly

" IWK is a composite, there are at least 3 different sets of genetics floating around in the seed. The pure white seed produce plants with white flowers and tend to breed true producing white seed. I agree. Jim sent me some white seeds, but I did not plant them. My belief is that the white is a recent cross, which is not deeply embedded in the genome. It seems to be easily eliminated, after two years of growing only the purple and/or black, I have had no white flowers or seeds. The white trait could still be recessive, but since I usually grow 20 plants or more, that appears unlikely. An observation from this year... we ate quite a few shellies from the "Insuk's", and I found the all-black beans to be sweeter than the purple. DW really enjoyed them. They were followed up by "Gigandes" shellies just before frost.
