If you're ever looking for small samples to trial, of many different varieties, send me a PM.

Gary, thank you for both the generous offer and the info on Contender. At this point I don't have even a square foot of available space in the garden beds if I grow everything in my plan for this year. But I have added Provider to the list of possibilities for next year so that I remember it when it comes time to buy my seeds for 2014. I love the pole beans I grow--primarily Super Marconi and Roma-- but they take so darn long to produce. While they are great steamed or boiled and tossed with olive oil and garlic, you can't throw them in a pan with some butter and lightly brown them--my favorite way to cook green beans!
