Henderson Bush should work it's simlar to what I planted which was Thorogreen Baby Lima beans. I purchased mine from the local farm supply store (untreated seeds). If you are planting when the soil is still cool, you'll need to use treated seed or they will rot. If you keep the mature beans picked off the vines will bear until frost. This means replanting to fill in skips where seed didn't come up is unexceptable (the replants won't be ready to pick when the original plants are and vice versa.). Twice as much picking for the same amount of beans.

I stored the tea in a closet where the temp stays between 70 -80 degrees. Claud

The link is just to show what they look like. I haven't ordered from this firm.
