well, big relief

i will have seeds for this year. i picked a bunch today due to rain tomorrow, and i
will be working, and then possibly a low of 35 or so friday. i hedged my bets by
picking some now. they are not dry pods, but they are at the leathery stage, and
the seed coats are showing their colors, so i should be good. the rest will hang until
the weather gets nasty cold. beans can take a bit of cold.

i have a good number of beans grandma gina size with uncle steve purple on the pods. i am hoping to stabilize them and reduce the seed splitting in the pods that grandma gina is prone to do. kind of a mixed bag right now.
flavor is very good.
once i have a line stable, we'll have to come up with a name, and start dispersing it.
