Deb I would take a pix to post of my Provider beans in pots but it is TOO WINDY out there. They are starting to get pretty purple flowers. It seems to me they took a while to settle in and grow but since I only have grown tomatoes thats my frame of referrance.

I planted my seeds in peat pots and put them on a heating mat. Up in a few days. Any warm place would work. Cable box is great, as is top of water heater or sometimes back of fridge.

Thanks Kath, good to know. Black Valentine is another I am interested in.
Deb once it gets warm and nights stay warm beans and most everything else will come up outside but it is still pretty chilly at night where I live. Mostly high 40s. I am new to beans but I think they like soil temp at or above 60. Although many say they will germinate in cool soil, so maybe yours will come in in time. |

I started my provider beans on sunday. I'm gone for 7 days and will see how things look this coming monday. They are under a lamp and not a heating mat because I didn't want to run both as my other plants are under the lights now.

Super Marconi (the Cuneo strain, from that region of Italy) is my absolute favorite bean for flavor. Yes it's late, and it also has fairly low production for me, in very hot weather. But, still I plant it. I don't know why you say you can't throw them in a pan with butter??? Speaking of olive oil and garlic, I need to dig out a recipe (that I think I still have, but haven't tried) for oil and garlic oven roasted romano-type beans. And, for early pole beans, someone should be sending me Kwintus, and another early, in a few days. He sometimes has trouble with trying to save seed, so I'm going to try to help. Hopefully, I'll be able to harvest a few hundred dry beans of each. ![]() Gary |

The Providers are up and about two inches tall ! It's my first time seeing growing beans.
