Post #5293448

A local organic roadside farmer told me he has been growing a black seeded stringless Italian flat green bean for about 40 years now. He got it in Italy when he met his future wife, who was then 11! (I suggested he might should offer some seed to Seed Savers Exchange, but he said some years he barely has enough seeds to grow for his market.) He doesn't have a name for it...does anyone else know what it might be named?
