50 6” black krims ready for transplanting.
50 6” better boys ready for transplanting.
3 dozen korean cukes ready for transplanting.
2 dozen guajillo chiles ready for transplanting.
4 korean peppers ready for transplanting.
3 dozen alabama red okras ready for transplanting.

It took me three years to find a seed house selling Carolina Sieva butter (a lima) beans. I have enough for a decent crop for cooking, freezing and seed savin’. (they almost disappeared for a few years. said to be Thomas Jefferson’s favorite - certainly mine).

I will celebrate my first harvest of these butter beans by simmering a ham hock for several hours before cooking the limas in the hock stock. From there, I’ll serve fried chicken, tater salad, krim maters swimming in Italian dressing and Mexican cornbread. Yum..!

That sounds absolutely yummy! Although I do like pinto better than butter beans. Beans and all the rest makes up my favorite meal.
