Funny, I just got this yesterday from Carol, before I saw this thread.

‘HANNAN POPBEAN’ (garbanzo a.k.a. chickpea; Cicer arietinum) Plant mid-March through April. Photoperiod sensitive. Later plantings give flowering on tiny plants, thus produce few seeds. Seedlings are freeze-hardy. Plant at or thin to 8 inches. Needs no irrigation in the maritime Northwest. Harvest when plants are dry, usually late July to early August. I don't recommend this variety for regions where the ground is frozen into April. Selected for production under organic conditions in Willamette Valley Oregon, hotbed of aphid-spread pea diseases. Highly resistant to soil borne diseases including Fusarium and to aphid-borne diseases. Use as a regular garbanzo or as a popbean. Bred by Carol Deppe. About 100 seeds – $5.
