Little bits here and there will get things done. That works here, too
These long dark hrs before bed are boring!! I wandered over to garden site and have some questions.
Blu-Jay. Has beautiful pics of soooo many beans & scanning posts it appears he has a website to sell bean seed. Fine... Some threads mentioned " network seeds" and I get the idea that he has these seed to send to "growers" to produce seed for him. I get the impression he sends a number of seeds, with agreement to return some number back from those produced. May be simplified, only scanned threads. Am I seeing that somewhat correctly?
Anyway, many of these he's never eaten, just is a dealer. Well, nice to love beans but sorry there's not much in the way of use, taste input. Sad. I plant to use!
Next.... I see that these are often only 3-10 plants the producers are growing. Not garden production quantities. So, how far apart are you guys placing to restrict cross pollination? What other methods are used? i.e. Bloom stage, plant dates, bagging, etc.

ok, for more details you can search on TEG for Little Easy Bean Network and there are threads back at least to 2013. that's a lot of bean reading and pictures. enjoy! once in a while i go back and reread those threads myself.
