Just wondering if anyone grows this particular bean.  It is a yellow bean from Mexico and it is so good…My favorite bean…well I never met a bean that I didn't like…I love beans.  I haven't found seeds for it but I know that I can plant the ones from the supermarket.  I've done that many times for different beans.  I think that it has  a semi vining growth habit…anyone know? 

Question number two…what is your favorite butter bean.

I found a source for Flor de Mayo bean seed if you are interested.  I love butter beans, but I have no particular favorite.

my favorite butter bean are the ones my Brother in Law grows in his garden in Alabama.  They are almost like a baby lima bean.  I eat so many they make me sick.  Seriously, I get migranes.  But they are so good, like velvet melting in your mouth. 

I asked him what kind they were and he said "Butter Beans"  LOL! So I don't know really what they are.  Must be the soil.

my Dad always saved his seed and that was his answer too, Butterbeans.  Thanks for finding the seed.

Oh my goodness WV_Hills, that is an AWESOME web site!  It makes me wish I had enough flat land to grow a field of beans!  I've been reading the different bits they have about each variety and it's GOOD reading.  Of course if you garden you know that seed catalogs are some of the best reading!

Thank you so much for posting that link!

If tomatoes are a fruit, then isn’t ketchup technically a

smoothie?

Wow, what a beautiful site…thanks so much for the link!  It just makes me so mad…I love beans, but I can't eat them because they are too high-carb for me now Hissy FitHissy FitHissy Fit!  But my husband can eat them for him.
