I didn’t know Hummers liked the scarlets. I’ll definitely plant a bunch. Thanks for the tip on the blossoms

Are either of those being types non-hybrid? I have some lake something or others in the basement, came with one of those seed packs for preppers.

Re: Green Beans.

Heirloom (Open Pollinated) Bush Beans:

https://thehomesteadguide.com/best-heirloom-bush-beans/

Of the Bush beans I like/have grown: Dragon Tongue, Blue Lake, Top Crop and Royal Burgundy. I have a friend that SWEARS by anything in the ‘Landreth’ line.

Heirloom (Open Pollinated) Pole Beans:

Of the Pole Beans I like/have grown: Kentucky Wonder, Scarlet Runner Bean (Yay!), Blue Lake Stringless and Romano/Italian Bean.

Pole Beans are hugely efficient and produce a LOT. I made the ‘Rookie Mistake’ of planting TWO poles of ‘Blue Lake Stingless’ one year and we had beans coming out of our ears, LOL!
