Poletschka Climbing Bean

A kindly person has given me half a dozen small black seeds of Poletschka Climbing beans, which I understand are from Ukraine.

So, I have my 'challenge' for next season.

Any members grown this bean ??

Alex - I am getting the distinct impression that you like growing beans
Looking forward to next year when I can grow my first beans , from your posted seeds, - that don't come out of a Heinz can :D
Now has anyone grown this Poletschka Climbing bean.

thanks

Hi, I've just found this thread.
I've been growing what I believe are Poletschka beans for a few years now.
However, my version has variegated beans. Here is a link to an article I put on my blog in April 2010.

They are very productive and taste gorgeous.

 

Hi Ian, I think your beans are probably 'Pea-Bean' - have a look at this website which has an illustration. Some very interesting varieties listed!
