Charlevoix dark red kidney is a bush. My Polish is tall growing (yours might not be as such a name could well apply to more than one bean variety). Hope somebody else knows about Parchman/Lockwood pinto.

There is a "Polish" listed as a snap in the SSE yearbook, described as follows:

"seeds are light brown with dark brown swirls, medium length, flat, wide Romano type pods, reasonably good flavor, plants are early and productive"

Just an fyi.

...sorry. I should have said Polish was listed as a Pole/Snap in the SSE yearbook.

Sam,

The "Polish" bean that I sent to you is a pole type. It produces flat, yellow pods.

The only info I have on Parchman/Lockwood Pinto is that it is a tender snap bean, not a dry bean like other pintos. I will treat it as a semi-runner, and add a pole later in the season if it looks like a climber.

Also, the Anasazi I sent is a pole type, not a bush.

Thanks for the helpful info guys! I'm getting excited about my garden this year - Lots of new and interesting things!
