not too many but some of these are blends of multiple varieties so they can include more in those (like Peregion is what i consider a blend of about 6 varieties).
i'm now getting towards the end of sorting the beans from last season and considering which ones i'll try to get pictures taken. some nice new ones and continued projects plus some new crosses - pics eventually...
notable new beans were some UC Davis common bean mosaic virus resistant beans that i grew for the first year. a few of them seem early enough that they'll work for me here in mid-Michigan. a few issues from them but can be worked around as they didn't impact getting a harvest. so we'll see how they grow next year and go from there. the general plan is to get them to cross with the beans i usually grow to get those resistant genes spread to the regular varieties. it will probably take 5 - 10yrs for that to happen in any significant way.
always interesting to see what happens next. i have a lot of fun crosses continuing to show up. the camera doesn't really capture them as nice as i'd like. i need a better skill set and so far not enough practice or patience for me to do them justice. another goal for this year... :)
