Vs,

It's strange, down south the big white beans are called "Lima Beans"
and the smaller green ones are called "Butter Beans". Up north, they
reverse the usage of the generic terms and call big white beans "Butter
Beans". Which are you talking about?

BTW, I'm planting big white Lima Beans.

Talking about beans - Our store near us used to have butter beans but
they no longer have them. They taste better than lima beans for me.
Wonder where to get them.

Fran,

It's "he". I have no way to determine whether the beans I have are
hybrids, and no time for research. It's rapidly getting late in the
bean season here in Dallas. What I've done is soak about 10 of them
overnight and plant them in a row in some unused garden space. It's
not too much trouble to tend them for a few months to see what develops.
