All any of you are missing are some of my heirloom corn beans that have passed through the family for over 300 years . Once you eat these you will never touch a half runner again .

Re: What's in your Garden?

Speaking of heirlooms, I was frantic a few years ago. I thought I had lost some pole bean seeds from the old country that some one had given me. I planted a quart of the seeds and not one grew. I was frantic. I checked the fencing that I had grown them on the year before and found 2 dry pods with 3 seeds in them. I planted them and they grew, protecting them all summer with deer fence. I harvested 38 seeds that fall. I am now up to 2 quart of seeds. I couldn't go back to the man that had given them to me because he had passed away a few years before this happened.

Know what you mean . We keep some seed in the freezer each year against a bad year like last year . Mother Nature sucked , deer and groundhogs munched , and our garden failed miserably .
Shared some reserved seed with friends in hopes that someone could harvest a good crop of seed to restock us all .

Corn beans?

 

[truckinbutch]

Re: What's in your Garden?

Corn beans?

Local name for this heirloom green bean . Normally planted in hills with corn seed . Corn germinates and grows faster than the beans . The beans climb the well established corn stalks and utilize the cornstalks as support poles as they mature and the corn is past it's prime .

 

[greydigger]

Re: What's in your Garden?

Yea, I always did corn and pole beans together for that reason.
Pumpkins in same area, they like each other.

I only have a little place for some strawberries that I had to make a cage to cover.
Squirrels and other critters eat everything here if not protected. Ate my roses !

Neighbor brags about "Purple Erckle", "Strawberry Kush", and "Shishkaberry" in his garden.
Not sure what those are but he is happy with them.

Re: What's in your Garden?

I spoke with a friend from Ohio today. He and his wife bought a nice home with five acres. He talked like Mr. Douglas for months. I asked him what he has planted. It is mid July and he said, "Well, I've got the garden plowed."

I said, "I figured that much much. Any corn planted"?

There was a moment of silence.

"Naw, I've been practicing my guitar."

"And..."?

"Just weeds..lots of weeds."
