Hi, I have fresh Yard Long Beans, green or " Red Noodle", few other seeds, interested in your Scarlet Runner Beans and few others, hope we talk about it in email if you wish. Bea

I have Fortex beans that look very similar except for the color. I don't remember the weather conditions at the time....lots of other life happenings then that weren't as fun as gardening but needed to be attended to. But Emerite is definitely not the only variety that can look this way. I plan to test germination on some and see if I need to get replacement seed. I go back and forth on thinking there is no way they will grow to thinking they might do okay. Guess I better test them soon.

Do you have a seed exchange/library/bank in your area? We have several in our county, and the seeds are from plants grown in the area! So you are pretty sure they are organic and will thrive in our area.The seed exchange I go to actually has a huge seed garden, tended by volunteers and located at a church that also gets some of the produce for those in need. They also have speakers who have classes on seed saving, growing certain veges, composting etc. Everything is volunteer. I can't do the physical gardening stuff beyond my garden, so I give seeds, altoid mini tins along with a sharpie for marking them for the seed days. Might look into that in your area! Nancy

Hello Igtung, things have changed on the site the past year as you may have noticed. Here is a quick rundown of how to get setup with your trade list, etc... Hover over the "Your Houzz" link at the top right of the page Click on "Edit Profile" Next, you'll find a list of links on the far left directly under your profile picture Click on "Advanced Settings" This will take you to a page where you can edit your info as needed including "My GardenWeb Trading List" which is a box for you to type your list the way you want it. Might I point out, there is a very important setting that you need to change in order for people to message you on the site. Of the list of settings for you to change, it is toward the end, directly beneath the gardenweb trade list . Put a check mark in the box that says "Allow users to follow my profile" and then where is says "Who can message me" change this option to read "Allow anyone to message me". Don't forget to click on the green "Update" button at the end and you're done.
