Forgot to mention we still have loads of SEEDS at Summerside Farmers Market & Farmacy & Fermentary inn Charlottetown.

Time to GET PLANTING folks!

I planted my varieties of cold-hardy black- coloured beans yesterday: BLACK VALENTINE, BLUE JAY, CANADIAN WONDER, PROVIDER & SPEEDY to do a comparison of performance. ( all green beans
I also planted ROCDOR WAX BEAN ( black seed), which i have never tried before in May, as yellow beans more tender. We will see what happens!

HAPPY PLANTING!! Tina
