The Kurzer’s Calico Traveler Limas germinated well, and are coming along nicely.

The White Greasy Cutshorts I bought from a small scale seller only had about 50-60% germination. Not as bad as it could be, as I only bought them to grow for next year’s seed.

The Beefy beans*, also bought from a small vendor have had nearly 1oo% germination, and are growing well.

Kentucky Wonders, for fresh & canning, are sprouting and looking good.

The Fava, again planted to collect seed, aren’t up yet; and neither re the bush green beans, for fresh & canning.

The seeds I saved from a kabocha squash germinated, and are looking good; but, a week after they were up, the patty-pan, planted at the same time, were not to be seen. I replanted those Thursday; and Friday, the originals miraculously appeared. LOL At least the food bank will benefit.

I pre-sprouted corn, 100& germination, from saved seed; but, then the weather went south for three weeks, so couldn’t plant them out, and lost them. When I put in the limas, I also planted a block of 24 of the same batch of seed, but less than 1/2 came up. Good news is, I have volunteers to transplant, that came up where I tilled last year’s stalks under.

After a week, still no potato sprouts.

Beefy Resilient beans are awesome!

Can I ask which vendor you bought yours from?
