15. The purple podded one I grow

is Royal Burgundy Bush bean from Fedco seeds. It's a great reliable bean!

Don't forget to try some "Butterbeans" when you order from JohnnysSeeds. This is a fresh green soybean AKA edamame. also great for freezing after you blanch them and squeeze the beans out of the pod. or blanch and freeze them whole and squeeze them into your mouth for a winter treat!

think seeds!
