I’d love to get a hold of some of these Garden of Eden bean seeds. I’m happy to buy! Jennysmith.net@gmail.com

Hi Jenny!

If you don't have anything to trade, I'd send you some for the cost of postage and the padded envelope.

Tony

Hi Tony, I could not see your trade list. I have my posted on my "ideabook". Let me know if I can interest you in a trade. Thanks.

That's a good idea...I just saved my as a PDF file and uploaded it to an Idea Book on my page. I can't find yours, though. Here's the link to mine in case you can't see mine:

Hi Tony, I can't see your trade list. The file doesn't open.

Thank you.

I can't see the trade list either -- I do have some Ukranian tomato seeds I can trade if you like.

I'll happily PayPal you the money to ship the seeds. Feel free to email me at jennysmith.net@gmail.com with your PP address and the amount. Thank you!

Hi shp123!

Sorry about my list. I don't know why my actual trade list link doesn't show up on my profile page any longer?? I tried to post mine as an Ideabook as you did, but for some reason the only way I could get it to work was to upload a PDF file, so when you try to look at it you have to download it. How did you enter yours? It opens right up when I click on it.

Tony

Hi PianoRose 10a So. Cal!

I wish I could get to the bottom of what the best way is to post a trade list, but shp123's works nice. If you click on my tradelist twice a blank file will open up, but there will be a "Download" button at the bottom left. If you click on that a PDF copy of my list will open.

Thanks!

Tony

Hi again Jenny!

Read what I said to the others above to see my trade list, and let me know if it works for you.

Tony

I was able to open the file using the instructions above -- thank you!

I do have a rose that we brought back from England several years ago. These aren't the best pictures, but if you want a cutting I can send you one. We call it a Fitzhugh rose because it is planted on the spot where our relative was murdered in the 1100s. The bush does not date back that far, but it's been there many, many years. I think it's a common climbing rose, but I don't know the name. The pictures are of the same bush, started on its own roots from a cutting elsehwhere in my yard. I think that's 3 years growth in the monster takeover version.

If you don't want the rose, no problem. I'm happy to just pay to ship the Garden of Eden beans however you prefer. Thanks so much!

Hi Jenny!

Is the rose fragrant?

Tony

As I recall, yes, but just lightly. It was a big rigamarole to get it in with the FDA -- letters and inspections and whatever :-)

I bet!

How about I just have you send me money to cover the envelope and postage? I'll send you lots of seeds. How many would you like?

Tony

Are these white seeded or brown? I've been searching for brown "Romano" pole beans for two years.

They are brown with black markings.

Thanks for the picture! I can see that these are different than the ones I've had in the past and am looking for. Thanks for taking the time! Good gardening to you.

Sorry for the lag, Tony -- I've been out of town. Yes, I can send you money for postage and an envelope. How would you like me to send it?

I only need about 25 seeds. If you have more I’ll take them and share with my father.

Garden of Eden was my favorite pole bean and while I was away from gardening for a few years, Johnny's stopped selling it. No one seems to sell it any more and I'd hate to see this variety fade into total oblivion. My old stock tests zero for viability. I'd love to get some more and will be more careful to save seed to use and share in the future. Probably a handful or so would be enough to get a crop to grow for seed production. I'm happy to send whatever it costs. Thanks. Wayne

Wanted to let you know that almost all of the Garden of Eden Beans you sent sprouted! Thank you! Here’s a picture of them growing on the bean trellis in my yard — that’s Garden of Eden on the right and Sevia Lima/Scarlet Runner on the left.

Tony,

Do you still have extra Garden of Eden beans? I ran out and can’t find them anywhere.

Grace

Hi Tony - like others here, I'm looking for Garden of Eden beans. Any chance you still have some? Thanks, Karen

Hi Tony,

I am very interested in your Garden of Eden beans if you still have some. My father really wants some for Fathers Day. I cannot see your list but I can pay for them.

Karen

Karen, I'm not Tony, but I may have a small amount. I had been looking for this variety for years. I had some in a Johnny's seed pack from the early 200Os that didn't germinate, but mid-season last year I found a small amount packed away that I had saved, I believe in 2008 and they germinated and grew. Other than sampling some fresh in the garden, I saved all the seed from that small crop and I'm doing a germination test now just to see how they do. If they are viable, which they should be, and Tony has none to provide, I'd be happy to send some. No charge. Dad just has to promise to save some seed to help keep the variety going.

I'm working a new garden since I moved to this new homestead last fall so my planting is a bit behind but the first 25' planting of these great beans go in tomorrow.

Hi Karen and Jenny! I still have lots of seeds that I can definitely send you!

Karen - if you go to https://www.houzz.com/hznb/photos/trade-lists-phvw-vp~141869335 and click on the Download button, my list will download for you in PDF format.

Jenny - email coming your way.

Tony

I do! Message me and we'll set up a trade.
