Hi im completely nuts about growing heritage beans,just love their
diversity, would love to hear from anyone who grows them and what they
grow,thanks

Favorite is Provider a string bean but Italian Flat beans (Jumbo)
caught may fancy due to the tasty flesh. Like pole beans but don't have
the space.

All sorts of beans available. Canned I buy Chick Peas, Aduki, and
black Beans from Eden Organic.

Yum HUMMUS do your own search.

I certainly agree with the Jumbo, but my all-time favorite is a pole bean
called Greasy. It's fairly common in rural Appalachia but I've never seen
the see in any catalog. My seed has been grown by me and a friend's family
for over 100 years.

What do the bean seeds look like? I know someone who is looking for
an old Southern bean like a field pea. If you have any pictures I
will pass them on to him.
