And the catalogs only tell you the good stuff. Not things like which pests prefer them and what the growth habit is like.AnywhereEdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243890948543124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369822688033191522.post-48841218658547089442012-07-31T08:40:30.726-07:002012-07-31T08:40:30.726-07:00Thanks Michelle!

There are over 50 bean types offered in my favorite seed catalog, it's going to take me years to narrow them down to a few favorites. Your input will help a lot with that.AnywhereEdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243890948543124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369822688033191522.post-90402926315845010992012-07-30T15:26:33.202-07:002012-07-30T15:26:33.202-07:00Love hearing about your experience - we decided ag...Love hearing about your experience - we decided against beans this year, but I am wishing we hadn't. ;-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034721157003896873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369822688033191522.post-14681585153258027182012-07-30T15:19:56.239-07:002012-07-30T15:19:56.239-07:00Great post, I actually look for veggies that have ...Great post, I actually look for veggies that have a longer harvest period since I do as little preserving as possible. I do like to make refrigerator pickles now and then, and like to grow beans that will fit a quart jar. This year I grew Rolande filet beans (a bush type) which should be picked very small, but I was not able to harvest the beans for a while and a lot of them got to be big enough to fit lengthwise in said quart jars, and surprisingly enough the large beans did not get tough or stringy. My plants started producing on June 14 and are just finishing up this week. Most of the beans come out nice and straight but the last beans to set sometimes had a tendency to be a bit short and curved. Oh, and they are delicious, at any size.Michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369822688033191522.post-43122639849163087592012-07-30T13:45:52.984-07:002012-07-30T13:45:52.984-07:00Ooh ooh, these are the type posts I love.

There are so many options in the seed catalogs it's really difficult to choose.AnywhereEdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243890948543124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369822688033191522.post-15688128150601559952012-07-30T13:10:55.771-07:002012-07-30T13:10:55.771-07:00Thanks for this post.
