Bean, pea, legume (& tomato) swap
I'm posting this so that there will be a thread for discussion.
Also, my email address for those in read only mode... dwcmuseum (at) yahoo.com My email is currently frozen where I can see messages sent, but I'm not able to open them. By the time someone emails me, maybe it'll be working. Gary |

I'll try to post a list of what has come in so far, on Monday.
Participants can choose from that list, or post varieties from your wish lists, if you have one. Wish list beans are much more difficult (near impossible) to receive, than tomatoes. |

Nice idea Tormato, thanks for starting it. Never did a swap/trade other than for tomatoes, i guess there may be some differences in the guidelines and quantities of seeds.
My garden is now frozen solid, all plots. Warm December was nice for as long as it lasted. |

I'm on board again. You ran a great bean swap last year and I had a very good season this year.
Any deadlines? I seem to recall - don't send you packs that are all taped together... |

I sent in Cannellini beans. Mmmmm, love beans and peas. Aerial, are the Hutterite beans as good and creamy as claimed by the catalogs? Anyone here growing out the sweeter wrinkled seeded peas? Or know of the names of varieties for the wrinkled peas? |
