Well I bombed on that one. If that's what she wants you have to grow them.
Best I can find out Cargamantos is a variety of red bean popular in
Cartagena, also called cranberry, borlotti, cargamantos, crab-eye, lamon,
october, roman, rosecoco, salugga, shell, shelly, shellout, tongues of
fire, tuscan.. Assuming they're all the same thing, here's a page on
borlotti beans http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com/Borlotti%20Beans.htm .
Here's a page on growing them
http://www.gourmetfoodsource.net/borlotti-beans.htm tho I don't see
anything about yield.
