You know me too well
I spent last evening sorting all the CFB's into alphabetical order, as I had duplicates of some and I was amazed at how many Letters I had!
A double row of 13 canes or several "wigwams" should do it. Sow 3/4 beans of each and plant the best 2 at each cane and see which are the best.
That's the plan, anyway, by bean sowing time it may all have changed.

No?!!!

Its raining (sorry Snoop ) so my idle hands and mind are turning to thoughts of an alphabet of DFBs -----------then it may be tomatoes

[veggiechicken]

The DFB Alphabet is missing G, L, Q, U, W, X, Z.
I had to call the Soldier Beans - Nun's belly buttons as I needed an N.

Any ideas for the missing letters please?

EDIT - Gaucho & Goldukket are in the VSP

Looks like you're going to have to start your own breeding program to get one beginning with L

[veggiechicken]

For the record, my missing CFBs are E,F,I,O,Q,U,V,W,X,Z.

May have to check out the Runner beans now - see if I can find any to fill the gaps!
