At the moment, my blog is a bit of a dead end because I haven't added any links to my favorite blogs - my bad.<br /><br />One of the few catalogs I have found that carries purple pole beans is Gurneys. Over the years, their selection has reduced a bit. Overall their products are good, except for the cucumbers. One year, an entire package didn't sprout.<br /><br />As far as the Cherokee purple tomatoes, I don't know their acid content. If you can find some way of determining how acidic they are compared to red tomatoes, that will give you an idea about whether they are safe to can as a high acid fruit. When we have extra yellow beefsteak and yellow brandywine tomatoes in the summer, I normally use them up by making a large batch of marinara sauce and freezing it, because the yellow tomatoes should not be canned. I have never tried drying fruit, because in our area there is a lot of humidity in the summer, the sun doesn't provide enough heat, and running a dehydrator just feeds the electric company.<br /><br />You will find plenty of pictures of the MdP pumpkins in the archives on my blog. Just processed and froze the insides from the biggest one (42#) a couple weeks ago. There are still two sitting on a shelf in the dining room waiting to be processed.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05303378310653171627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-79568511898431610062012-03-07T16:47:44.015-04:002012-03-07T16:47:44.015-04:00Dear Duke - bahahahahha! i checked the provincial/...Dear Duke - bahahahahha! i checked the provincial/state laws and Kentucky encourages that Wonder Beans be grown everywhere - even in Canada - bahahahahah!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-9539710116776977742012-03-07T16:46:57.978-04:002012-03-07T16:46:57.978-04:00Mrs. S. - thanks so much for stopping in and leavi...Mrs. S. - thanks so much for stopping in and leaving such a great comment! i just checked out your blog and have become a follower. if you would like me to add your blog to our blogroll just let me know!<br /><br />i have never grown purple pole beans but must admit i don't like fuzzy skins on the green beanx. thanks for the tip, i will check those out!<br /><br />i grew the cherokee purple for the first time last year. and as our harvest was dismal, we ate them off the vine. we didn't have any extra to can or dry - how do you process your cherokee purples for storage?<br /><br />i will definitely try the MdP pumpkins. thanks again for your advice and i hope to see you here again!<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-1958322714203130322012-03-07T16:43:49.099-04:002012-03-07T16:43:49.099-04:00Donna - i carted mine around in bins and bags for ...Donna - i carted mine around in bins and bags for years. now i have finally found a beautiful home for my seeds and am using a hand-made piece of furniture that i previously had no use for! win-win all around!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-76096916349673195222012-03-07T15:45:39.006-04:002012-03-07T15:45:39.006-04:00Nice seed storage, BTW I don't think it's ...Nice seed storage, BTW I don't think it's legal to grow Kentucky Wonder Beans that far North.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-67959411037571704862012-03-07T13:02:18.289-04:002012-03-07T13:02:18.289-04:00Have you tried growing purple pole beans?

I tried them one year but found that after they ripened, they tended to go rotten very quickly. They are quite tasty, but you really have to keep an eye on them, or you'll find yourself asking "What's that smell?" - rotten tomatoes of course<br /><br />For pumpkins, try the Musquee de Provence if you can find some seeds. They are very sweet, and unblemished ones keep for months in dry storage. You shouldn't have as much trouble as I do with the short growing season gamble. The only downside is that they seem to get quite big, ranging between 10 and 45 pounds.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05303378310653171627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-86052339597949871362012-03-07T10:08:31.372-04:002012-03-07T10:08:31.372-04:00I love the little seed storing cabinet!
