Munsi Wampum Beans

Spring is in the air and I have planting fever!  It is a typical ailment of mine every spring.  I am in the process of deciding which of my Lenape beans I should plant this year.  I have grown the Shackamaxon, Munsi Wolf, Cranberry, and now this year I think I will try some Munsi Wampum Beans (aka Speckled Minisink).  My gardens will accomodate my planting  two different beans so all I have to do is make a second decision.  Pictured at left is the Munsi Wampum Bean, the speckles are hard to see but they are there, just a little darker than the color of the bean.  I have written prior posts on both the Munsi Wolf and Shackamaxon.  The only bean that I have sufficient seed to share is the Shackamaxon.  If you are interested in purchasing Shackamaxon bean seed please contact me at foodhxsmp@gmail.com for more information.
