Purple Pole Beans?
I just love purple beans (they turn green when you cook them). But all I have been able to find are the bush type. Does anyone know of a purple pole bean variety? |

I *have* searched every one of our 60-70 garden catalogues as well as google w/o much luck. Mayhap you were unaware that some varieties of purple and red are not really edible podded. We already, in fact, purchased and planted one type only to find out later it is not an edible pod. I was hoping someone here had experience they might kindly share. Obviously your experience falls in another realm, Prince Charming. (:P |

Your question was "Does anyone know of a purple pole bean variety?" I grew purple pole beans some years ago, but don't remember the variety. The answer to your question seemed obvious to me, and that's why I suggested a search. (Before posting, I Googled on "purple pole bean" and saw numerous varieties mentioned, BTW.) If you'd said "has anyone tried XYZ, or have you grown something similar that you can recommend?" I wouldn't have bothered to post, except perhaps to say I *had* grown some so I know they're not all bush-types. Newsgroups *are* for sharing experience and opinions, not just directions to "look it up," but if someone asks a very general question that can be easily answered by a simple search, I suggest searching. People here are *very* kind about doing other's searches for them and then typing up the information for spoon-feeding. I admire and appreciate them. I merely don't (usually) do it myself. |

You're right! I yanked out the VBSC catalogue and it was kinda tucked in between the cowpeas and bush beans. And they are only 65 days so I am going to order some. :) Thanks! They also have the streaked "Rattlesnake" variety which is very tasty too. :) Order early. We've been ordering from Vermont Bean for several years, and they've been very slow the last two years. It seemed like they shipped things out this year based on who had called to complain lately. Luckily I had leftover seed from last year for most things. -- Aaron |

If not, then find another target because I see no need to reinforce your fractiousness. |

Luckily I had leftover seed from last year for most things. Our order this year was staggered in 5-6 seperate mailings from them! And it was not a large order as we obtained most of our seeds from other sources. OTOH, they sent us a large quantity of free peas described only as "experimental". LOL. I hope they get over their problems as they have always been one of my favorite suppliers. |

Pinetree also used to sell Purple Peacock, another purple pole bean, which I
have good luck with, was gonna grow it this year but ran out of time. The Trionfo is an Italian style bean which is a bit flatter (Romanesco?) Do a search for Purple Peacock on your favorite search engine. Mark "Pat Meadows" wrote in message ...
