Purple peas and runner beans for squash, beans, etc.

9 months ago

last modified: 9 months ago

I have have Sugar Magnolia purple snap pea and cilantro collected this year and some scarlet runner from 2021 (90% sprouted.) Finally, I could spare a just little bit from my Baker Creek order this year: Radish, Japanese Minowase Daikon; Chrysanthemum, Big Leaf Tong Ho; Kabocha Squash; Bitter Melon, Satsuma Onaga; Bean, 1500 Year Old Cave; Bean, Red Swan Bush; Odessa Squash; Parsley, Giant Of Italy.

I am seeking vining summer squash varieties, cranberry beans, and fava beans (especially purple ones.) Odd varieties of beans, peas, squash, etc. are welcome. Really almost anything that I can direct seed.

Please let me know if I am making any noob mistakes; I was active 20 years ago on gardenweb, but it has been a while.

I'll give you points for growing bitter melon. ;-) Sorry so late, this forum is so inactive now compared to the good ole' days of Gardenweb that I seldom check it. As another long-time member (the year of membership is one of the many things removed) I too miss those golden years when this was a vibrant trading platform.

You might not have anything that I want (other than possibly the bitter melon) but take a look at my trade list. It's still here, although I'm not sure its visible... if you can't find it on my member page, it is also copied as one of my Idea Books.

If you still have runner beans, I would love them. I have Trombocino squash, the best summer squash ever with great resistance to vine borer and if you let them ripe all the way they are a good winter sqash as well

Runner beans will rot if too wet. I sow them indoors in April or outdoors in late May and water only sparingly. Do not presoak as they risk rotting. Don't winter sow. They need warmth. If you can get them started it may be possible to get a crop as they grow very fast in warm conditions. Mine started cropping about three weeks ago and it's been about 60f here. No way has the soil been 65 - 70! You could also consult the legumophiles on the Bean, pea and legume forum.
