Thank you for showing this. Love it!!

[@BlindBabeBeth]

That bowl looks delicious. I love beans!

[@krisk255]

Thanks for all the lovely beans! Wondering if you find it necessary for home gardeners to distance their pole beans to prevent cross-pollination? I'm trying my hand at more seed saving and have read varying thoughts on this.

Cant find Mojave bean anywhere

[@tribalequestrian4954]

How do you grow them without crossing them?

[@BlackestSheepBobBarker333]

I crossed a 1,500 year old Cave Bean, with a Pinto Heirloom this year. I was curious if anyone is aware, of another Cave Bean\Pinto Hybrid? Thanks

[@sumayajournati1006]

I recently bought a similar bean mix from Costco and I'm sure there not the same.

[@tamaramurray8577]

Do you sell the different varieties?

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

I LOVE BEANS. COOKED IN MANY WAYS.
But no sweet flavors.

[@Sparrowcrow-qc4pp]

can you sell some of these?

[@rodney73991]

so when grow these do let dry on plant. then keep or do have do special get keep. do only grow one kind so don't cross? so every year only grow one? got lot bean pest? I grew sweet potatoes years was carving punkin patterns into them then stinky yellow and black Beatle showed up start trouble. found pray mantises like eat them but think this year not grow them hope with food source gone they leave. so with beans grow every year or do hold off year so pest leave? how beans get plant? is any that afraid losing just don't have to many beans saved? best luck bean farming.
