I just added one variety of bean to the available list
Black Valentine Beans
American Heirloom, 1850's, 50 Days
Slender, stringless and nearly straight, these early-maturing light-green 5 to 61/2" pods have a distinctive flavor used in their snap stage reached in just 50 days. Left to mature, they produce beautiful glossy jet-black beans that are a delicious dry shell soup bean. 12 to 14" tall plants are very hardy and Black Valentine will germinate in cool soil, making it a good early planting bean. It is easy to see why this remains an almost legendary bean among American gardeners. Resistant to bean mosaic. These pods are formed on top of the plant so harvest is very easy.
This bean is excellent for Black Bean Soup
