  • Another bean sweepstake.....They think it's all over....it is now

    This is another sweepstake.

    I have depodded today's beans and, after seeing some interest in Heritage Beans, have decided to
    a - photograph the beans
    b - count the beans


    The closest person to the correct number of beans in the photo; wins a selection of Climbing and Dwarf/Bush Beans, as per the photo. 5 beans of each type shown.

    Varieties include Cherokee Trail of Tears, Cosse Violette, Dapple Grey, Monastic Coco, Ruth Bible, Cannelini, Pinto, my new Pinto variety, and some lovely random red soup beans from a soup mix bought in Dean and DeLuca's in Soho Manhattan back in April.

    The sweepstake is available to cast votes on until the end of September or until someone gets the right number.



    The beans are in a standard mug - this one being from the Manic Street Preachers gigs during the Everything Must Go tour, if that helps in the calculations.


    I'd love these to go to someone who likes beans, and can give them a good home, grow them next year and pass some on once they have collected batches of lovely shelled beans, which are lovely in winter soups and stews.

    Do we just post our guesses here?

    Those beans look so pretty. I have cosse violette and trail of tears growing but not sure how fat I need to let the pods get to save for next year (or will they have crossed since they are growing together)
    Happy Gardening,

        Yup!

        Leave them to dry on the plant until they rattle inside. The pods should be crispy. They shouldn't cross.....the ToTs will be black inside and the CVs shoudl be white with a bit of purple flecking inside

          The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

          Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                      I was feeling part of the scenery
                      I walked right out of the machinery
                      My heart going boom boom boom
                      "Hey" he said "Grab your things
                      I've come to take you home."

                          I'm going to say - don't go higher or lower than the highest or lowest here......
