I've lost track of a small French fillet i used to grow. No other the past 5-6 yrears have
done well. It was a small white bean maybe from Renee or LeJardin.

Unfortunately i never pay much attention or label bean varieties in the garden. I plant,
they grow super and i can usually tell by the shape what i have.

The tiny thin French have alway been a favorite and even fresh eating right in the garden. I had a pole and a bush.

I can't find Finaud anywhere.
Nickel, Tavera, AiguilleVerte, all white. Emirate and Fin De Bagnols are purple/black
Found ClimbingFrench. Maxibel.

Any favorites i'm missing?
I really like Calima. Its a bush filet type bean with great flavor.
