It would be interesting to know how different "Hannan" is from the brown-seeded PI 374085 ("Brown Popping") Carol mentioned in her previous book. I've grow that one for years; the description of the growth habit for "Hannan" matches what I've observed from "Brown Popping". At least now I know why the bushes were so short last year; I direct seeded late, as opposed to starting early as transplants. Garbanzos are poorly adapted to my climate anyway... I get enough to share seed, but not enough to eat in any quantity.
