Peas, so far...
Number of packs {~5 seeds/pack} in ( ), (+) means 10 or more packs, (0) means there IS one pack, which may already be reserved for someone's wish list, or there may be less than five seeds, or it's for someone who will grow it this year instead of just acquiring it... Alaska (+) Amish Snap (2) Blauwschokkers (+) Blue Bantam (2) Burpeeana Early (9) Cascadia (+) Champion Of England (0) Dark Seeded Early Perfection (0) Dwarf Grey Sugar (8) Dwarf White Sugar (0) Early Frosty (0) Golden Sweet (5) Green Arrow (+) Green Beauty (0) Kaiserschote (0) Kleine Rheinlanderin (0) Lancashire Lad (0) Laxton's Progress (0) Lincoln (0) Little Marvel (0) Luscany (+) Mammoth Melting Sugar (3) Maestro (0) Markana (0) Opal Creek (2) Oregon Giant (0) Oregon Snow (0) Oregon Sugar Pod (5) Oregon Sugar Pod II (3) Peas N'a Pot (0) Petite Pois Precoville (0) Pioneer (0) Progress #9 (+) that's not some fancy dancy hi-tech hashtag Purple Podded (+) Recruit (+) Rheinperle (0) Sienna (0) Snow Bird (0) Snow Girl (2) Sugar Daddy (2) Sugaree (0) Sugar Magnolia (0) Sugar Snap (+) Sulton's Harbinger (0) Sweet Provence (0) Tall Telephone (7) Taichung Tc 11 (0) Thomas Laxton (0) Tom Thumb (0) Wando (0) Yakoma Giant (not sure... since it's my saved seed, I have to find them) For peas (and beans), if there are varieties with plenty, and you'd like more than 5 seeds, just ask for multiple packs of a variety. |

Working on that...maybe we need to build some bean trellises to keep the garden from being taken over by tomatoes. Or find some more places in need of gardens.
Until then, concentrating on growing out the beans and peas I already have. Tempting as this swap is... |

Those are very pretty Joseph. Do you inoculate you legumes or is it survival of the fittest?

I don't inoculate. I grow a lot of beans, peas, and legume weeds, so I figure that the natural bacterial have thoroughly colonized my farm.

I just boxed up my packet. I'm sending the following beans:
Cade's Cove USDA PU 175865 Grandpa Hale's Bean (heirloom bean from SW Virginia) Old Joe Clark Noble Fall Bean Roi Des Belges Bag of mystery heirloom beans. I bought a bean medley from Sustainable Mtn agriculture and grew these out from them. I don't know the names for them though. Tormato if you don't want me to send these just let me know. |

Gary, I think I'll have to send you more seeds! I bought a ton of peas last year and just never got around to planting them. I can definitely send in peas, if you don't mind them being a year older. I also just got some fresh Royal Snow peas from Johnny's I can share
Still looking for Jembo Polish beans! |
