Mystery bean


It's not a good shot, but has anyone got any idea what these beans are? They were at the bottom of a parcel we're passing round, and that's all I know!
PS I've been informed that they're soya beans, probably 'Elena', which is, as far as I can see from a quick google, the best one for British weather. I'l try them next year and see what happens.

  1. You're right, it is a long shot but my guess is Hutterite Soup.

    Do I win a prize?

  2. No idea, but I'll find out one way or another.

  3. I think Daughter of the Soil should have a good idea if you give Rebsie a buzz!

  4. I may do that; I've been wondering whether she's still there. I'm definitely going to grow the beans next year, and see what comes up!
