I didn't think that beans were often hybridized but, was not for sure so off to wikipedia I went and found this for us.<br />"Beans and peas are not commercially hybridized because they are automatic pollinators, and hand-pollination is prohibitively expensive."<br />The same can't be said for most other veggies though Hybrids have pretty much taken over commercial food production.<br />thanks for commenting!pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070334354138888054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524934972522611110.post-31592047101720341472011-07-03T10:29:59.673-07:002011-07-03T10:29:59.673-07:00I would watch about saving the seed from planted s...I would watch about saving the seed from planted store-bought seeds - there's a pretty good chance they would be hybrids, and would not breed true to type. Even the first-generation plants could be iffy. Of course, if you have the space, there's really nothing to lose...just don't bet the farm on them...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524934972522611110.post-11089774869131824252011-07-03T10:23:07.468-07:002011-07-03T10:23:07.468-07:00me too Wendy! I mean, I thought of it and knew you...me too Wendy! I mean, I thought of it and knew you could do it, but just never did it! LOL<br />Oh, and the green beans are good too. If you're planting to raise them for dried beans, you can still get a good mess of fresh green beans from the plants and have lots left over for dried beans. I'm excited about this experiment. We planted 1/2 lb. dried red kidney beans this spring, and I'm anxious to see just how much we'll get when I harvest them later.pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070334354138888054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524934972522611110.post-41564933780799697532011-07-03T08:48:27.025-07:002011-07-03T08:48:27.025-07:00planting store bought dried beans...... i can'...planting store bought dried beans...... i can't BELIEVE i never thought of that before...goodness me....
