I’ve always encouraged my children to have their own garden where they can plant what they want. My youngest son Miko started growing beans in his patch of garden when he was eight, mixing yellows, greens, whatever he got his hands on. He is well into his teens now and he plants a 100’ bed of “his” beans every year saving the seed. Each year he evaluates the patch, adds something or another, and keeps tweaking it. A few years ago, after harvesting the seed he showed me a large raspberry mottled bean that he didn’t plant. We separated it and grew out this chance cross on its own. The result is “Fiesta”, another bean we have on offer here.
