I also really love beans. I love growing really everything and often wish there was a place like TVille where all veggies are equal! haha.

I was in Gary's swap last year and i'm personally way more excited about the beans and such than the maters

I grew flamingo, trionfo violetto and blue shackamaxon and I didn't try a single one of these beans! I saved them all for seed to distribute. But that blue shackamaxon was nuts productive. I think the other two would have been as well but they kept getting nipped by bunnies and the flamingos couldn't seem to get the concept of the bean tepee.

For bush I have been growing blue lake and love them. I haven't tried another variety . Kinda if it ain't broke why fix it? Great canner bean for me.

I had one bean tepee last year, i'm upping to 5 this year.
