Hi! Just what I needed, someone from MS on
the list!
I grow speckled butterbeans (limas...not soybeans)
and sell them at the farmers' market in Kankakee, IL. We have a lot of
original southerners (especially from Mississippi) in our area. I have
been growing the bush variety but planted two pole varieties this
year.
I know you moved from Maine but have you seen
people growing these in your area?
Do you know anything about spacing, etc.?
Varieties?
By the way everyone, these are great for drought or
hot conditions. They were the only bean that actually made during last
summers hot and dry conditions. Well, the okra did well too. Oh, and
butterbeans freeze well and are delicious.
