AnnualCalypso bush bean, also known as Orca or Yin Yang bean, is an eye-catching heirloom variety prized for its striking black and white pattern resembling an orca whale. This compact, bushy plant matures in about 70-90 days, producing abundant pods filled with small, round beans. Known for their creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor, Calypso beans are excellent for soups, stews, and salads.
I love to share the gift of seeds with my community so I seized the opportunity with the awesome MIG seed catalog. Very pleased
The kids get very excited picking the dry "Orca beans" and I enjoy cooking them. They are relatively large and keep their fun coloring when cooked. Taste great in soup. Good yields grown in zone 6b.
Have grown these several times and they are always successful, dry well and taste great. Sometimes they look like yin and yang, sometimes like orca whales (that's the kid and grandma in me)
Such a unique bean!
Love these Calypso beans. Did very well, even when my flock of geese and chickens decimated the flowers multiple times. The snap beans were tasty….and the ugly, brown, shriveled husk was magical to crack open and reveal the most beautiful beans. We mixed our dried seed pods together and opened them at once. It was a fun surprise to see what color bean was going to be inside. Fun for the kids and adults alike. Thanks for another great seed that our family will keep in our garden for generations!
We absolutely love this game! Growing Season is fun to play, and easy enough to where even our 5 year old enjoys playing with us. Thank you for creating something that keeps us excited for for gardening season even in the middle of the snowy winter!
This game is so much fun, it's so unique, and it definitely keeps with the cabin fever in winter when we'd rather be out in the garden. Also the quality of it is better than any card or board game I've ever bought. Highly recommend!
Bought these seeds for Christmas and could not wait for spring to start them. They have been growing in my hydroponics now for about a month and with the cut and come again method I've been harvesting for about 2 weeks. The seeds have great germination. Kids and chickens are enjoying them.
I'm not just saying this because I am from the great state of New York, but the New Yorker tomato from MI Gardener is stupendous....It almost over-performed last summer (is that even possible?) I can't wait to get started with them again this year.!!
I used revive Rex last year with excellent outcomes. I wanted you to make sure I have it on had for this gardening season.
