Shelly bean trade for tomato seed?

17 years ago

Hi bean lovers

I'm posting this here because I haven't gotten much interest in the Seed Exchange forum. If anyone would like to trade some of my tomato seeds (fresh, grown by me) for a few "shelly" type beans please email me.

I got interested in them (shelly) by reading threads on this forum.

I can't grow a lot in my small yard but want to try a few to find the one or two to continue growing.

So far I have a unamed French flageolet (coming someday) and Kentucky Pole Wonder (also coming) but would like another one or two types in 10-12 quantity.

If tomatoes aren't your preference please look at my trade page (mostly flowers and herbs).

Thanks for reading.

I have some "Purple Italian MARCONI POLE BEANS". Here's the description -- HIGH YIELDING PURPLE POLE BEANS will need a fence or trellis for support. The easy to see purple pods stand out against the foliage to get you in and out of the garden fast. Also are stringless. Pick when the beans are 5-7 inches long. Open-pollinated I don't have many but I can send you about 10 seeds if you would like to try these. I've never grown them (I purchased the seed last year).

I would be interested in your Principe Borgheseand and Purple Russian tomato seed. Let me know.
