Hi del and alll....yes, i
myself am growing butterbeans and, funny you should ask...i just received the
precious gift of some speckled butter beans (pole, or running variety) seeds
saved for decades by a local family (here in north mississippi) it is only
a handful, but i will grow these in an area where they won't cross
pollinate,etc. and send you some at the end of the
season...
meanwhile, the other butterbeans that we
like to grow here and how we grow are (for those mississippi customers of
yours):
Spacing: rows 24-36
inches apart, placing beans 2 inches apart in rows and thinning to 4-6
inches.
(this is conventional spacing, i have not yet grown butterbeans
in my double dug, more intensive beds but the southern
intensive gardening guidelines say, 6 x 6 inches
to 8 x 8 inches)
