You really do rock. Susan, my all time favorite bean is a French heirloom pole bean called Emerite. I found it in Renee Shepherd's sexy veg catalog and have loved it ever since. (Still miss Shepherd's Seeds catalog.) It has a beautiful lavender flower, tall gorgeous green leaves, perfect for planting on teepees, and the blackest shiniest seeds I've seen. Taste is unparalleled, pick when pencil thick, stringless, HIGH yielding over whole season. A veg garden is not complete to me without Emerite. Very easy to save seeds to share and use year after year. Thanks for asking. Your little striper is very pretty too! Happy Spring!Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236278932692169950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-9839204966890489302011-03-22T10:51:06.132-05:002011-03-22T10:51:06.132-05:00This year I'm growing Contender, Provider, Ken...This year I'm growing Contender, Provider, Kentucky Wonder, and Dragon Tongue.

Last year was the first year I started keeping track of the vegetable varieties that I grow online. If I really like them, or if I really dislike them, I usually write a short post about it. I hope to have many more reviews this year! http://www.mysuburbanhomestead.com/about/seed-and-plant-variety-recommendations/i-recommend/Vegetable Garden Cookhttp://www.mysuburbanhomestead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-4735414775079251472011-03-18T09:52:42.166-05:002011-03-18T09:52:42.166-05:00Masai beans from Pinetree are my current faves.

It grows 18 feet tall and I needed something that would cover my garden entrance arbor.
