i posed the same question to remy remarking on similarities between aunt marys meat
and grandma gina.

i have a few hundred seeds of grandma gina drying, and over half of them split their seed coat in the pod. the bean pods when picked were at the yellow leathery stage. grandma gina is such a big bean that i have never been able to get it to dry down completely. our fall weather is often wet, and rainy. what i need to find out is an optimal time to harvest seeds of grandma gina to minimize splitting. maybe i'm waiting too long. i plan on contacting
my original source of grandma gina to find out.

i have a flat sheet pan of uncle steve seeds drying in the living room. sandhill didn't have them listed last year. i will have plenty to share if the interest is there.
