Delaware green bean

[coppice]

I'm sure the seed collecting bug is probably an OK thing for them thats been bitten. My limitation has ever been when I get a good cultivar of a main crop like beans I just sort of go limp in the search more yet another...

I got Delaware early on in my conversion to growing only open pollinated plants. it has always done well by me.

Delaware is a vigorous pole bean that has bout the biggest bean leaf I've ever encountered, a 20 foot trellis makes enough for family use fresh green bean. Pick 'em when still pencil thin as they will get woody. Let some go to seed in September and you'll have seed forever.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am the same way about searching for bigger and better. If I'm happy with what I've got, why bother?

Coppice, tell us more please about this Delaware bean.
A google turned up bean growing in the state of DE, lol. Not quite what I was hoping for...

That's the best kind of bean, the one Ya know and trust, I think that the seed acclimates itself to your climates, beans I get gifted from folks; south or north, Always do good.
But they do better the third year...may just be dumb luck _{(my specialty)}

Coppice smacks forehead "Potomac" was the name I soulda used for the green bean I'm describing. I just dug out a packet dummy for it.

Its not greasy or a cut bean.
