I planted this variety of pole beans this year. I hope they grow well! https://heritageharvestseed.com/products/sadies-horse-runner-bean-seeds #beans #gardening #PoleBeans #HeritageVegetables

Bean harvest (so far). Unfortunately, the names of each bean washed off the markers I made for each pot. I can’t remember the name of the four black beans. They did not do well where I planted them, so those four seeds are all I’ve got for next year. The other beans are skunk beans (black and white), cranberry beans (cranberry red), and Kahnawake beans (tan and chocolate brown). I have blue beans as well, but they aren’t ready to harvest yet. I don’t have many of those, either. Some sort of bug seems to kill most of the beans I try growing in my front yard. It eats the leaves off the seedlings before they get established. I’ve tried using diatomaceous earth, but it hasn’t helped. Numbers wise, the Kahnawake beans grew the best, the cranberry beans second best, and the skunk beans third best. I planted a couple of other varieties which did not grow. All of these were grown in pots with trellises or corn to climb. #beans #HeritageVegetables #seeds #SeedSaver #PoleBeans #IndigenousFoodSovereignty #gardening #harvest

I just finished shucking the beans from my tiny three sisters garden. These are Kahnawake pole beans. They are gorgeous. I got my first few seeds from a Mohawk seed saver in Six Nations. This is an heirloom Haudenosaunee variety. Hopefully, these will go on to make even more seeds and feed people. #KahnawakeBeans #HeritageVegetables #ThreeSistersGarden #IndigenousFoodSovereignty #Mohawk #SeedSaver #Indigedon #IndigenousMastodon #Beans #PoleBeans #Haudenosaunee

I’ve been a bit quiet on here, mainly due to trying to tame a third of an acre of wild and woolly #NorthYorkshire! In spite of our prime directive to first and foremost clear weeds and start a decent #compost system, I have managed to plant a bit ☺️

I’ve also been having a go at #SeedSaving these #HeritageVegetables, #pumpkins and #WinterSquash. #GardenOrganic’s Heritage Seed Library has been the source of some incredible veg for me over the last few years.
