Been having no real viable source for the Greek seed sources for the planting seeds.Works for most beans,unless irridated.

How did your beans do for you?

Even the store bought Gigandes, for food, are nearly impossible to find.

Put them in ground after germination,even at green shoots a possum came and dug up the meat part of seed and ate ,all of them.Trapped-the critter,took it to a nature preserve.Two made it.Got new seed source.

Found a source from Ukraine

I've been tempted by the Royal Corona at Rancho Gordo but I assume they're different enough to make a...um...difference. Their price is fine, but the shipping is way too gordo for me to just buy one thing.* My co-op carries their brand so I'll have to check next time I'm there.








*And, no, that doesn't mean I need to buy more from them. The pantry is already overflowing with dried beans

After three years I am returning to growing Greek Gigantes fazoleus. Ten days ago I soaked the seeds and after two hours I sowed them in pots. Today, roughly half of them showed their stems. For planting (after the last frost on 15.5. ), I need the seedlings to be strong with a quality root system, and to bloom as soon as possible, before the high summer temperatures come, when the pollen is non-germinating.
