we grown favabean storicaly in my region and we plant it in late october and it overwinter nicely, the only problem can be the late frost bite! we plant aguadulce claudia to but i'm actively looking for some heirloom variety .... not so much hope about this because nobady around save seeds...let's see if i can do another discovery! about eathing the beans the best way here is fresh pecorino chese and pork shoulder! soooo good!

wel, after some researc i have found some year ago a tomato that come from south italy that stay good until now! is a sort of a big sherry tipe(saladette?) that is rose orange outside and red inside and a frost free place is the only thing neded to keep it good! i have offered some seeds and i have stil remained some in the tomatoes. and the taste is surely better tan the store tomatoes! never tryed the long keeper but...looking at your commentary...i'm ever and ever les convinced to try it!.....

good to know that life some time is easyer tan i immagine! being sunflowers outbreeders i can work in a different way i have planned, so letting it crossbred i can have a nice mixed populationnext yeari plan to use as mother the variety with the biggest/edible seeds(mongolian giant)and plant around this the other strainso to massimise the possible cross!(i have tahyo, and some seeds that are labeled craven:the grower probably; and some other seeds of varius shape and size) wath i hope to create is matter ofselecting the best resultant ofspring i think! thanks to all for time and attention Emanuele

i plan to grown sunflower to join a big sunflowers contest and i have recived seeds from varius grower and wen i recive it it are of 3 big group: black seeds, withe seeds and stripped now assuming that my goal is to produce big sunflowers (but secretly big heads full of edible seeds hihihihihi) but i want not to cross everithing with everithing istil exist a way to baggie a sunflower? or to cross it surely? for some strin i have 4 seeds for other more. i'm realy ignorant about the anatomy of sunflower the only thing i think about is that probably the biggest part of the work are done by the bees because of the flower color but wind? so guys please can you share some know with me? thanks in advance for your time and attention Emanuele
