@DoomsdaysCW @GPJohnston If I want french bean varieties to stay true to type I only need keep different varieties 3 metres apart. They self-pollinate so could be next to each other and not cross (it happened last year when I wanted two to cross) but a 3 metre rule is sure. If I want to save true seed from other bean types I’ll only grow one variety of them on the plot. However, sometimes I do want them to cross so I can save landrace seed specific for my plot and conditions.

  • Good to know! It seemed that way from my past experience, but I wanted to make sure my Anasazi beans stay true to form, since I'm growing a few different types of beans this year. Thanks, @Broadfork ! @GPJohnston
