Spacecase: A winter lentil? I wonder if they will overwinter here?? I have tested them down to 23F and they are fine so far, sorry, that is as cold of temps I have this year, it does not snow where I am growing them so I don't know how they like snow cover, anyway, I am going to send you the perennial sorghum seeds back(yay fresh seeds), so I will just add that as well and you can try them, if nothing else they should do well in early spring when there is still a risk of frost |

I don't grow as many legumes as many here, but I am trying again with peas and seeing if I can keep them from the striped gophers. They need to be tall.
Peas:
Tall Telephone
Super Sugar Snap
I am letting the CSAs tell me if they are interested in black eye peas. I like them and may grow them.
Beans:
Rattlesnake
Provider
Golden Child
Isar
maybe another gold
maybe a haricot vert but the seeds are so pricey
Soybeans:
I prefer envy but again they are so pricey. I am thinking about growing and saving most of the seeds.
Alfalfa:
Big N alfalfa as usual

@space: Thanks! I'll let you know how they do. And thank you so much again for increasing the sorghum.

Joseph: I'd be happy to send you a small sampling of my chickpeas if you'd like to try them. Have you tried Chickling pea as well? Winnifred's Garbanzo is really early for me. What peanuts are you growing? I welcome new germplasm into my garden, even of species that are not socially known or understood. I tried two different varieties of Spanish type peanuts. And in harmony with my typical way of doing things, I don't remember the names of them. |

Chickpeas: anonymous desi types in several colors. Long-term plan is to start some of them in the autumn to select for frost-tolerance. Common beans: Kenearly, Yellow Indian Woman (sorry for the name--I don't think it was meant to be pejorative), John's Bean, Red Peanut Bean, Piros Feher, Polish Pea, Orca, Arikara Yellow, Pepa de Zapallo, Lena's Bean, Limelight, Vermont Cranberry, Annie Jackson, Refugee Lima: Henderson's Bush Lima Scarlet Runners: Scarlet Empire and Bees. Maybe some others. Tepary: Black Mitla, maybe some others Fava: Black Russian, Egyptian, Banner Peas: Margaret McKee's Baking Pea, anonymous afila type Swedish soup pea, Blauschokkers, Blauschokkers dwarf, maybe some fresh-eating peas like Tacoma and Sugar Lace II. Maybe a few of the earlier soy like Manitoba Brown and Fiskby V. Andromeda Sweet Lupin I might spring for some domesticated Lathyrus sativus. I've heard people say that they make good substitutes for Lentils where lentils are nip-and-tuck to ripen. This gets back to a conversation regarding how much L. sativus is safe to ingest before paralysis ensues.  Speaking of Lentils, Blue Adzuki suggested that smaller implies easier to ripen, so I'll try du Puy and some Beluga Lentils. |

I am up to 177 varieties of beans for 2012 so will not list them all. But most excited about Holly's Italian Landrace trail. I lead customized groups to Western Europe for 15 years so spent alot of time enjoying Italian food in Italy. Can't wait to be able to cook some Italian beans from my garden.

Holly, have you grown the Taichung No. 11 before? Any good? I sowed some this year but only got one plant (old seed) from which I saved the seed for next year.
Davida, 177 - wow. I think I have a lot when I sow 10 varieties!

Raymundo, I've not grown most of these peas before. They are all new to me this season. New seeds too. If any of them are any good, I'll let you know. The Picton & Southland Snow are from NZ. Lots of pea fun!

Davida, 177 - wow. I think I have a lot when I sow 10 varieties! Ray, I enjoy your posts. We have never formally met so "Hello from Oklahoma". I grew 2 beans in 2011. The spring bean did not make and the fall's Tema did fantastic. My family always joke me about doing things all in or nothing. But 2012 is the year we study beans, sweet potatoes and yacon. |

Holy mackeral, some of you are growing a lot of legumes. Final decisions have not been made but it's looking something like: Peas: Amish Snap Norli snowpea Dwarf Grey Sugar snowpea Carouby de Maussane snowpea Dual peas Tom Thumb peas Spanish Skyscraper peas Tall Telephone peas Harrisons Glory peas Beans Fresh: Purple Peacock Blue Lake S7 Grandma Nellie's Yellow Mushroom And  Looking for a good pole roma, and maybe a yellow pole bean Red Noodle (maybe) Beans Dry: much less settled, but considering: Cherokee Trail of Tears Deseronto Potato Bean Dolloff Flagg GaGa Hut (no relation to Lady G.) Good Mother Stallard Hidatsa Shield Figure Mennonite Purple Stripe Snowcap Yes, I am a sucker for seed catalogue advertising copy. Those above are all beans I haven't grown before so if anyone has any comments I'd be happy to hear them. I have either given up on lima beans or might try getting some pole lima's from the U.S. if I can find some that don't have TOO long of a season but all the bush lima's we have tried have been duds for us. |

Aaaand finally, I forgot: we just came back from Cuba, where I was given a small handful of pigeon peas. Not exactly an ideal crop for southern Ontario, but I am going to give them a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
