The Bean Project - 2010 and beyond
Further to last year's bean listings, I now have 96 types of bean to grow out over the next few years.....here's the listing as it stands today:

Wow! What a list. I sometimes wonder how many are the same thing with a different name. DNA would sort it out.
I've got a fair selection as well; I haven't counted, but it's a big bagful. It's amazing how these things accumulate. I hadn't realised there were two versions of Lazy Wife. I'm definitely growing that one next year, if only to see Namissa's face when I offer them to her!
@Flum - that's not a bad idea - now all we have to do is raise the cash to fund the DNA tests.....
@ Robert - you are a brave brave man Sir. I saw your post on the Go forum about HSL varieties - I'll prod someone to try and respond to you tomorrow....
They need to do something to make it possible for us to offer them new varieties without making them go through lists like yours!
hey
i'm a gardener from romania.
if you're interesting in swaping some veg seeds with me it would be very nice.

Last time I forgot to leave my blogpage, so here it is:

Thanks Raz - very interesting indeed!
What sort of things are you looking for, and what swapsies have you got?
Have you thought of joining the Vine, where we have an official swap page?

hei
I am interested in beans, peas, oriental and andean vegetables.
I havent gardened in quite a long time so now I'm gathering seeds. All I have to swap right now is on my blog.
I have peaked on grapevine but I need to get familiarised with how it works. Does it allow international swaps as well, or just seed circles?
HI Raz
The Vine welcomes all sorts of swapping, once you have been there a month - so join up and get stuck in chatting and I'm sure you will be swapping come the start of March.
There are four bean varieties I would be interested in acquiring. I do have a few beans to trade that are not on the bean list. The ones I'm interested in are. Rose D'eyragues, Nun's Belly Button, Mariazeller, Early Warwick. I live in the U.S. I wrote to Henry Doubleday Research Association this year and they to me they weren't allowed to send bean seed out of the country anymore. I had acquired a number of varieties from them years ago. I have the impression that the Linear Legume is in the U.K. Are you allowed to mail seeds overseas?
Hi. I actually work at HDRA. I have some of 3 of those grown this year and I think one or two MariaZeller [I didn't like those and they didn't do very well for me]. I'm allowed to send seed overseas from my collection - email me your address on zazen999@btinternet.com and I'll send some to you
