Default grandma roberts purple, first of the year

it has been a weird bean year. early june was cold and rainy, so most of the beans
went in late. i hedged my bets by planting a few seeds of several varieties in doors
that were several years old. seven out of eight grandma roberts sprouted, and are
now the first to produce beans enough for picking. this is one of the varieties that
darrel jones got from his grandma down alabama way. i am happy to report they
are doing well several hundred miles north. it should be easy to save seed from this one.

i have lots of blossoms on my other beans, both bush and pole, but not much in the way of bean development.
i have been having bad luck growing yellow beans lately. green beans grow with no
problem. yellow beans, most just don't come up. i am puzzled.
