I can do that, I can give a few dollars & pay postage.I can help you with that.
I'm sitting here shelling some dry seed as I type.
All I ask is that you save seed for yourself the following year and offer seed to one other person, or more people if you like.
Dr Martin take a long growing season. I start mine in 3 inch pots and they have to be almost 'birthed' to get going. The seed is planted with it's back just 1/4 inch below the potting soil level and once the seed swells and starts to move I did around it just a little bit to help out. If soil is not removed often the small emerging leaves rot in place and the bean plant dies. I lose maybe 25% to this leaf rot. I don't do as well planting directly in the ground plus the small plants are very easy to lose to pest.
The bowl to the right is dried seed and only about 1/3 of them will be good seed for growing. The other 2/3 will be eaten as dried lima soup. I do the culling in a few weeks. Any distortions or dark spots go in the soup.
My offer is good to people who are participants in this thread.

But how tasty are the beans? They certainly look plump and beany.
My wife runs from the kitchen any time I cook up lima beans. She won't eat 'em, and I think they are just great. I make a BBQ'd lima bean recipe that's just great, but it kinda depends on liking Limas.
In fact, I haven't found a bean I don't like. I'd guess black beans are my favorites. Even Taco Bell is offering black bean servings now. I got black bean tacos saved as a favorite.
I can do that, I can give a few dollars & pay postage.
I'm planting some in the next week or so. I had some old Koreans show me how to grow it a few years ago but i lost touch with them. I bought some rocambole pink skin at produce auction this year and will be planting that. It was about $.50 per bulb.Filaree Garlic Farm sent me a email that my GEORGIAN FIRE & MARTIN'S HEIRLOOM will be shipped 11/03/2022.
That late for S.C., but it is still hot here in the day, like 75-80F.
My plot is Fallow ground, so I will need to remove the weeds & turn it once with compost first.
I am trying Martin's Heirloom to see how it does in 8a zones Spring heat, I harvest in early to late June here.
Happy Zucchini day to all you veg heads.
