I read today that Thomas Jefferson grew Tromboncinos, and Cucuzzi at Monticello. Fact or Fiction, I know not, but it said they are still grown there in the gardens.
The Founding Fathers (or one of them) would be proud of us.

Love it!
BTW, are you familiar with the Hyacinth Bean Vine? Beautiful purple flowers and reddish purple seed pods. Some folks say they’re edible, but most folks just use them for ‘decoration’. Anyway, Monticello sells the bean seeds because they grow them on arbors and get a lot of questions/requests. The flowers really attract bees, too. We’ve grown them - I’ll find a pic and post it to you.
