Hi Keith.
I can't remember when you sent me Uncle Steve's Italian Pole Beans. I never grew them because the tomatoes always crowded them out when I did my planting.
Anyway, with the cost of groceries, and the chance to grow vegetables in a neighbor's garden, I planted them. Keep in mind, they are now old seeds. I think I got them from you when we were all on GW.
Our weather here has been unseasonably cold. A few days here and there when we get some heat. I planted a variety of old seeds. Some I bought. Some I traded for or got SASE. Of all the pole bean varieties I planted, (4 or 5 types), guess which ones sprouted? That's right. Uncle Steves. I did not plant anything older than the year 2000.
I look forward to them growing if we get some consistent summer weather. We are expecting a week of it in the 80s-90s F. so we should see some growth.
Thank you for generously sharing your seeds with so many.
