yesterday out and about, saw packages of bean seeds

the packages in my hand, read the descriptions and
had to tell myself that i really did not need even
more varieties that i don't have room to grow.

i put them back, someone else will have to give them
a new home. later on, if they have them for half price
or better i'll reserve the right to change my mind...

What kind of bean ? We actually I , but ... grew Kentucky Wonder last
year , but decided we don't particularly like the flavor . This year we're
... going to grow some Blue Lake , since that's the most common AFAIK
canned bean on the grocery shelf . Hey , the flavor you're used to might be
the best one to grow for home canning .
On a side note , my seedlings are doing great 'maters and peppers except
the Anaheims and Jalapenos , both of which I've reseeded in new containers
because the first planting didn't germinate after 3 weeks . Might need more
patience ...

I've grown Blue Lake, Contenders, and, this year, Kentucky Blue will be
planted. Contender or Blue Lake have always been good ones for us but
I'm hoping the Kentucky Blue will be a better flavored bean.

I would be planting now but there is a threat of a frost this week.
