Anyone growing Duane Baptiste Potato Bean?
Comments (21)I grow duane baptiste beans Aka potato beans Aka deseronto beans. They are an indigenous pole bean variety. They are extremely rare as they were cultivated only by the Mohawk Indians of the Mohawk valley area prior to 1784. After which they were brought into present day Canada by those Mohawk indians specifically to tyendinaga Ontario. This is where they aquired their first English name of deseronto bean As the abundance of them were cultivated by the mohawk band under the leadership of captain John deseronto. The next name was a acquired when a man from the same village ( tyendinaga ) by the name of duNe baptiste was noted for his special cultivations and distribution of these beans. Still with no official English name they aquird his name, Duane baptiste beans. This variety has always remained local aside from a few people acquiring a handful of seeds to grow. Even more now very few people of our own nation even grow this bean if any other of our indigenous Mohawk varieties of food. It is very sad indeed needs to be embraced as in all honesty they are the very reason my one of us are here today, native and non native alike. I personally grow many of these varieties And am willing to share my knowledge of these items. Please, let's discuss....See MoreIs anyone growing Baby Fordhook Lima Beans?

Comments (10)We grow several varieties of beans, green peas, and edible podded peas. I tried Magnolia Blossom tendril pea this winter/spring and will probaby grow it again. Massive amounts of curly tendrils which are so delicious. I recommend it. I always grow Wando peas, as they really are more heat tolerant than most others. In the south, green peas have to be planted super early. My pea crop is just a memory for us, until the fall when I can plant another round of seeds. I've been growing Jade bush beans for the last few years and it has the best flavor! A fan of Kentucky Wonder pole beans, too! We use plain bamboo teepees for the pole beans and peas.....we have a friend with a small bamboo forest who is happy to deliver all we need. :-) I LOVE garden chat!...See MoreAnyone else growing Hyacinth Bean vine?
Comments (12)Just happy to have them. Very easy. Although they are only coming into bloom, now. One generous woman sent me seed of the rarer, white flowered form. Really only charged me for the shipping. I didn't plant the normal colored, this summer, because I know I probably would not get white blooming ones, next year, if cross pollination happened. I would get occasional white-flowered plants, as time passes. But, for sure, even the pods of the normal colored one are as nice, and as colorful as the flowers. The Sun will shine through them. Mine are mixed with Scarlet Runner Bean, 3 colors of Morning Glory, red-flowered Cypress Vine and Moonflower, in a row of plastic window boxes, at the base of the lattice fence, on one side of the pool deck. They all mix in a competing mess. No sheets of bloom, as they only get half a day of Sun, but interesting....See Morekatyajini
