Just Some Of The Beans

IMG_7189

Just thought I would post some of the beans I have been shelling.  I have bags and bags to work through, and this sample is by no means all of the different ones I grow.   They are all fun though, and contribute to great pots of chili in the winter.  The one pictured above is  a calico lima I was sent by a friend in Israel to give a try here.  Did quite well.

Stabilized cross of Hidatsa Sheild and Dragon Tongue.  Produces long beans, good eating pods, tons of seeds.  9-13 per pod.

Pole bean I developed that is a cross of Poletchka and Abenaki.  Nice orca markings.

I probably have over 100 unstable crosses, and a dozen other standard pole beans I have not pictured above.  I grow far more pole beans than bush, mostly due to not having to worry as much about weeds and rotting when it rains in the fall.  These are just the different ones I was shelling that afternoon.
