My first full beans
Comments (22)I do plan to do succession planting of Aunt Jean's this year with a first attempt started in pots about May 1. Hopefully frost won't get them. Then another round about July 1. Snowball looks like a winner like so many Appalachian beans. Can you grow a fall crop to mature after it starts to cool off? - Dick...See MoreMr. Tung's Pole beans
Comments (16)In that photo, the beans are well on their way to being soup beans. I pick them for summer eating when much more slender. They are more pencil shaped than flat., though not perfectly cylindrical either. The seeds are a kind of ugly taupe colour, don't know how else to describe them. As for Case Knife beans, that is an interesting history. I believe they have white seed. As for A'bunadh Seed Co., that surely is an unusual name. If I recall right, Mandy from Mandy's Greenhouse in Manitoba sold her seed to A'bunadh in Alberta if I recall right. But she is still a "hobbyist" and still doing business to some degree. Couldn't leave it alone......See MoreMargaret Best Greasy Cut Short
Comments (30)I planted some Jan. 17 when the temps were in the mid to high 60's. (Had to bring them in at night.) They were ready for the first picking today. That is about 80 days. I planted more in early February when the temps were higher. Now, the February planting have almost caught up to those from January. They look like they are going to be ready after 66 days like the ones I planted last fall. The first batch this year were seeds saved from those with ruddy pods only. The ones I picked yesterday have something like two or three times as many ruddy pods as those from last fall. I plan to plant ruddy pod seeds again this fall. These have the strings removed and are ready for the pot....See MoreThree full beans
Comments (0)From left to right, Margaret Best, Snowball, Tennessee Cut Short. Snowball and Tennessee look very similar. Tennessee was planted six days later, but will probably take about the same time to picking. However, with high temps in the upper 80's and lows in the low to mid 70's, Snowball has totally quit and is dropping leaves. The other two are still doing fine. Actually, Margaret Best Greasy Cut Short, although a small bean, is really cranking at 73 days, loaded with beans at various stages of development....See Morefusion_power
