| I have been given a hand full of Striped Creaseback Beans, which I have planted in pots, and have now germinated. My problem is I can not find any information about these beans. I have no idea what to treat them as or even which part to eat. Do you have any information you could share with me please. Many Thanks Steve Luxford |

Hi Steve,  I know nothing about growing beans and I see that we have limited information in our database for Snap Bean (String (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Striped Creaseback') but hopefully someone who grows beans will be along soon and will be able to offer advice. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Here's the description from the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange website (note that this variety is also called "Genuine Cornfield" and "Scotia"): " 83 days. [Possibly of pre-Columbian origin, one of the oldest beans cultivated by the Iroquois who used it as a corn soup bean and bread bean. In the Cayuga Iroquois dialect its name means 'wampum bean.'] Shade tolerant, an old favorite for growing with corn. Straight 5-7 in. pods, gray-brown seeds with brown mottles and stripes. Best harvested before seeds fill the pods. Use for snap or green shell. Produces very well during high heat. A valuable variety for keeping the nitrogen in your corn patch.

I'll leave it up to Mike as to whether they should be combined  There are a LOT of beans that have been given multiple names over the years. C/F temp conversion |
