They keep for a long time without processing. Well not much processing.<br /><br />Djuna, I'm sure they would be. I have used beans from our local bean farm. But the problem is that commercial farms all use bush beans because you can use machinery to plant and harvest that way. You can't do that with pole beans. <br /><br />meemsnyc, thanks<br /><br />mckenzie, well send me an email with your address daphne@alum.mit.eduDaphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-30415455562948380042010-12-13T00:42:56.097-05:002010-12-13T00:42:56.097-05:00This is so kind of you!

We haven't needed to go grocery shopping in over a month! I will lovingly grow anything you send me. Thank you so much.

It might take a while. But there is no issue with asking for lots of things. Ask away. If I don't have enough of something (which didn't happen last year) then I'll send fewer seeds to everyone.<br /><br />Barbie, Pole beans are more work since you have to put up the supports, but I really like them. They are so much easier to pick.<br /><br />Veggie Pak, I've only grown the two, Trail of Tears and Ottawa Cranberry (which is a variety of Vermont Cranberry most likely). That is why I want to try more. I agree. They all taste good.<br /><br />Diane, I always love the weird ones that cross. I don't mind it as much as most do. You can get some fun things out of crosses, even if you can't count on them.<br /><br />michelle, it is. I go through my seed collection every year, throwing out the old, getting rid of what I don't need. Giving away the extras. Ack already. I need to start looking. I do prefer the paper version though. Even if it doesn't have photos.<br /><br />Jane, I wonder how many seeds I'll end up with. I always love to trial things.<br /><br />Karen Anne, I know I can buy them online, but if someone has saved them or has a small amount of extra seed I can get it from them. I know it is a popular one. And I have seed from Market Miracle from last year though. Lots of it. I wanted to save some from this year too, but can't find it in the house anywhere.<br /><br />Stefaneener, It is always fun give and to get this season. Though I suppose technically it will after this season.<br /><br />Sean, oh yes. I so love beans.<br /><br />Thomas, It is one of those that takes up space. Especially if you look at pounds per square foot. I think it is worth it. Most don't. Even with my smaller garden I grew some. I love dried beans so much. And this coming year I'll have a LOT of space. So I'll grow more. I'm hoping to be able to grow all that I need (but I'd need pintos and kidneys or a good approximation to do that). Though I suppose I could use cranberries instead of pintos. <br /><br />Odds and All, lol you can start one.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-52422712699491664352010-12-11T06:36:04.174-05:002010-12-11T06:36:04.174-05:00Very generous, what a grat idea to share when you ...Very generous, what a grat idea to share when you have more than enough, if only I had a garden :)Odds and Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835461700425912378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-65384776724535589782010-12-10T23:22:09.377-05:002010-12-10T23:22:09.377-05:00I'm amazed that you've been able to collec...I'm amazed that you've been able to collect so many shell beans.

I prefer pole beans over bush beans in every case. I've never grown ANY bean for drying, so I have to study up on it. Can you recommend a couple for a beginner in dried beans? I'm looking for info, not necessarily seed. They all look so pretty, like individual works of art. I also need to come up with some recipes for these dried beans. Chili, baked beans or whatever. They all taste good!<br />Thanks!<br />Veggie PAKVeggie PAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250455377130668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-25576936201674264502010-12-10T12:13:57.266-05:002010-12-10T12:13:57.266-05:00Very generous of you Daphne.
