| Will be planting: In April - Green Arrow and Lincoln peas. Also Sugar Ann sugar snap peas. In May - Fortex, Rattlesnake and Blue Lake F7 pole beans. Also Sieva lime beans. Might plant a row or 2 of snap beans in mid summer once space opens up for a fall crop. |
|
| I wish I had more space to try some of the other beans listed here! I had one spot left for pole beans. It came down to a choice between Rattlesnake and Fortex, and I ended up getting Fortex in a trade before I got Rattlesnake, so that's what went in the ground. :) I'm most excited about the Supernano and Jumbo beans I'm growing but I'm looking forward to all of them! |

| Just bush beans so far: dragon tongue, Cherokee wax, tendergreen. I'm planning on another planting later this year, might try some different varieties then. |
|
| Update: I've been having a crazy harvest. I've got one 4X4 bed and a couple of 18"X24" mini beds full of bush beans, two small areas for pole beans with about 12 or 14 plants total. I'm picking close to a pound of beans a day! I've blanched and frozen about five pounds so far. Favorite bean so far: The Supernano Marconi. It was supposed to be a bush bean but it's semi-vining and about 3 feet tall with runners. They're really delicious. |

| I just don't have enough room! But so far... April 2 Bellatrix |
|
| So far I have planted: Soissons Vert - pole type flageolet given to me by a kind member of this forum. Pink Eye Purple Hull - Southern pea. Burro D' Ingegnoli - bush wax bean, not the pole bean prized by members of this forum, but with a similar name and with an irresistable catalog description. White Willow Leaf - pole lima. Scarlet Runner will be planted when I finish clearing the garden fence. If I find space for one more, it will be a green snap bean. My space is limited and, since I want to save seed, I have to be careful about isolation distances. I have two separate small plots, which helps. But one is in a community garden with many beans in close proximity. Jim |
|
| In order of date of planting: Peas Pole Beans Cowpeas Bush Beans Most of these are on advice of GWs here and several |
|
| Man, I envy you folks who have room for lots of beans. What a nice list, happyday! Jim |
|
| Thanks, Jim! But I dont have alot of room, all that is crammed into 835 square feet including the paths. Each row is 5 feet on center, each variety in a block about 5x5 feet, 4 varieties per row. I wish I had enough room to propagate heirlooms by isolation distance instead of bagging, but that will have to wait till I can find a small acreage. Also have 400 square feet planted in turnips and radishes, havent planted the Eastham turnips yet, but will do so very soon. Looking forward to trying them. |

| Sugar Snap Peas (1st time) Jacob's Cattle dry bush beans (1st time) and and |
|
| I just harvested the last few dried pods of cornfield beans for seed. Thanks to a member of this site for letting me try those out. I'm a big fan now. They made great snaps and great shellies. I'm still getting some Medinah and Fortex beans. I really like the Fortex, and the Medinah are good if you pick them really young. They were a bit tough for me, although maybe that was just my growing conditions. |
|
| Correction, Lynches Butter bean is actually a Loudermilk Lima. Very pretty looking bean. |
|
| I have held off listing this year's varieties, since tractor failure (early) & sustained wet weather (late) have prevented me from planting them all yet. But I have started most of those remaining in Jiffy strips, so I won't lose too much ground - unless the heavy rains continue. Keep in mind that I am a preservationist & amateur researcher... don't try this at home. ;-) -Beans -Cowpeas Fenugreek -Garbanzo -Limas -Peas -Runner beans -Soybeans ***********Asian beans Adzuki: Green gram (mung): Yardlongs: Winged Bean (day neutral) |

| zeedman Wright's Korean If your referring to the Beans I sent you and macmex I do not believe they are Korean. My wife is Korean and I got them from an older Korean,now deceased 19 years ago. He had gotten them from an older friend 25 years prior who alledgedly got them in China. I'm not sure it was Taiwan or Mainland. My wife recalled eating them or something similar, as a child in Korea. She is now 68 years of age. |

| Help out a novice! I planted black beans for the first time but I don't know when they are ready to be picked. Do you leave them on the vine to dry? When do you shell them? Any help is appreciated! |

| I have a question. What is the difference between a snap pea, snap bean, regular peas and beans, snow pea, etc. I am looking to grow something on a vine, not a bush, that I can eat raw and is sweet. Can't I take a snow pea, let it get fat and wouldn't that be good or not? Can someone tell/show me the difference? Or point me to a website (I tried googling, but it didn't help much). |

| Ok, here's the list, finally! Pole: Bush: I might try and sneak in Pencil Podded black wax. |
|
| Burpee's french filet (Triumph de Farcy) bush beans. That's it for now-- my first year planting beans and I didn't know how it would go. They almost all germinated (I directly sowed them into a sunny area) and they're about 2 feet tall now, so it looks like the experiment is working. |

| I snuck in a few more! Pencil Pod Yellow |
