Have Heirloom beans, wanted other heirlooms
Comments (8)Hi, smokeymist! Oooh I love collecting heirloom beans. If you have any left of: Barnes Mountain Striped Hull Greasy Cut Short North Carolina Speckled Long Cutshort Greasy Doyce Chambers Grandma Barnett I would like to trade 7 of my beans (seven seeds) for 7 of your beans (seven seeds), so I can grow some out. If you'd rather have squash or carrots, I can spare 12 squash, or about 30 or 40 carrot seeds or so, again in trade for 7 beans. This is what I have - These are all packed for 2011 from Baker Creek or Territorial Seeds: Hidatsa Shield Bean Beurre De Rocquencourt Bush Wax Bean White Rice Bush Bean Bolita Pole Bean McCaslin 42 Pole Bean Red Dragon Carrots Tromboncino squash - I have never used it as a winter squash, but it is our favorite summer squash Thank you!

Comments (17)Ah, are the three of us are looking for the exact same thing? How great to have company in the search! I have made some progress in finding more "Romano" varieties! SeedSavers.org is an organization that allows individuals who save seed varieties to make them available to those who ask. I searched for "Romano,", and I've found a few contenders which I am going to try out!.... 1) Romano II Italian Pole Bean https://exchange.seedsavers.org/page/variety/id/126981 I've corresponded with Nickie, and she says these are shiny beige-seeded ones with a white eye. She describes them as "meaty and delicious" at both the medium and over-grown stage. She is eager to share the variety, and will send them (free!) to anyone who will grow them, convinced that once you try them you will love them. 2) Romano Pole Bean https://exchange.seedsavers.org/page/listing/id/6699.45411 "60 days, tall vines produce wide flat large pods with a wonderful nutty flavor, very quick cooking, best when steamed for 1-2 minutes, light brown seed" --This one gave me problems when I went to pay via PayPal, so I am following instructions to pay by check. 3) "Romano Brown Seeded" https://exchange.seedsavers.org/page/variety/id/45416 No real description, but the brown color sounds promising to me, so I'm excited about this one! There may be more results, but I stopped looking after the above three. Here's the search that I found most results from: https://exchange.seedsavers.org/page/catalog/search/variety?keyword=romano I've also posted in the Seed exchange area on this forum asking if anyone has any Romano Pole beans with brown seeds. So far no reply. Unfortunately the seed lists are not searchable, so it's a pretty inefficient seed trading system. I did find one "Romano Pole Bean," but I'm not trying it because it's a variegated seed (different looking) and there was no description about taste or tenderness. [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/have-garden-of-eden-romano-type-pole-bean-seeds-from-2017-dsvw-vd~5067556[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/have-garden-of-eden-romano-type-pole-bean-seeds-from-2017-dsvw-vd~5067556) P.S. I ordered already the SuperMarconi from GrowItalian.com , I'm sorry to hear it was a dud! I also ordered their "Smeraldo," https://www.growitalian.com/bean-smeraldo-57-45/ which, it turns out, is white seeded. Did you try that one yet, fignut or tigereye?...See MoreHAVE: Heirloom beans
Comments (3)Howdy, I'd be happy to try some of your beans. I'm interested in anything besides the Christmas Lima (I have tons of those already). Please take a look at my trade list and let me know. P.S. I'd be happy to trade you two packs of mine per pack of yours, since yours are commercial, and presumably larger packs....See Moregardenlad
