When I tried Borlotta Solista it did not dry well, but sprouted in the pods 5' above the ground.<br /><br />I've been using a 10% milk solution spray(1 cup 1% milk in 9 cups water) against powdery mildew for the last couple years. It does not cure an infection but it does keep new foliage from getting infected so the vines make it to frost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-84850048996983621792013-09-07T18:25:27.820-04:002013-09-07T18:25:27.820-04:00I'm growing Trail of Tears for the first time ...I'm growing Trail of Tears for the first time this year and I'm really impressed with the yield - it has knocked spots off the other varieties. <br /><br />Well, except the ones with spots...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642836504821695236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-59113422083227034302013-09-06T19:06:47.159-04:002013-09-06T19:06:47.159-04:00We plant a three sisters garden at my kids school ...We plant a three sisters garden at my kids school and since the kids plant everything all at once (instead of the corn first, then waiting to plant beans the traditional way) we thought up a solution. We bought a big roll of rabbit fencing and created a tall fence around the corn and planted the beans on the outside. The beans climbed the fencing, went sideways and the corn never got taken down. Squash on the outside of the whole works. It worked so well!Marlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-21728577281408280712013-09-06T12:50:13.664-04:002013-09-06T12:50:13.664-04:00I'm just getting into dry beans this year, you...I'm just getting into dry beans this year, your Trail of Tears look interesting.

I'm growing a bean variety this year that grows like that, the Purgatory beans do just that, they grow as bush beans but send up a single runner that's about 3 or so feet long.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-20619805951525368362013-09-06T11:49:34.324-04:002013-09-06T11:49:34.324-04:00I know what you mean about the Trail of Tears bein...I know what you mean about the Trail of Tears being aggressive. I had a bamboo stake in the row next to my beans, and the vines latched on to the bamboo before I knew it. I've been doing the limbo every time I walk down that row!<br /><br />A salad with corn, beans and squash sounds good to me. It could go different ways depending on the other seasonings. I'm looking for new ways to use our winter squash since it has been great year for them.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-51323549815665059532013-09-05T23:40:03.781-04:002013-09-05T23:40:03.781-04:00Lovely to have help, especially the kind that stay...Lovely to have help, especially the kind that stays out of the beds!
