Pretty colors

Beautiful beans arrived early- plan to plant in spring

Ordered more packets for summer!

Everything arrived in great condition, and I can't wait to plant them.

I'm growing in Ohio Zone 6B. Last year, I paired two pole bean varieties on a zig-zagging bamboo terrace: Cherokee and Good Mother Stallard. These varieties pair well because the pods look very different (with long-thin pods that dry to red/purple on the Cherokee and flatter pods that dry to yellow/brown for Good Mother Stallard), so it's easy to tell which bean you are harvesting. The Good Mother Stallard beans were the later of the two to begin producing pods, with larger beans but fewer per pod (usually three to five). The dried beans are gorgeous, mottled burgundy and white, and they hold their shape well during cooking. They are also quite tasty!
