i'm envious! can i put in a request for more
bean varieties?


You should contact Russel Crowe (the Seed saver; not the actor). He
has more varieties than you can imaginel. I got "Good Mother
Stallard" from him last year.

Cheers!


i've seen those.

i'm poking fun at myself and my mental illness when
it comes down to collecting even more bean varieties.

i happened to be sorting the collection recently but
had to pack them away yesterday to get my room cleaned
up a bit for visitors.

i was daydreaming of a system that would take a
picture of each bean and then sort them for me. i don't
think i'll be able to finish sorting them before the
harvest starts up again. at least i did combine a lot
of them so i am down to three shelves of containers
(many containers have multiple varieties).

when i'm feeling particularly anxious i can sort a
pile and then mix them back together to sort them again.
kinda like picking stones off the beach combined with
the worry stone concept.

hope you have a great time!
