No, but I'm about to order some. Can you imagine?
A couple of pots per season in addition to the normal bean grow outs. Just toss em in a jar.
Imagine a bean I can start in summer heat and produces during the quasi desert.
Imagine a bean that grows like a cow pea but is actually a bean.
Imagine their firmness after processed in canning.
I would need to pot them in sandier soil to avoid the clay ground.
I bet they have enormous flavor. You know, I thought about these years ago, then sort of forgot about them. If I’m not mistaken though, I think I read not to grow them near regular beans, but I can’t remember where I read it. |

I planted some of them about 6 or 8 years ago, I think it was the black ones that I planted. Never got to harvest any, the rabbits got 'em. They came up good...

Yepper, in 2013 & 2014. I grew Blue Speckled, Brown Speckled, and Paiute Yellow. They did ok here in VA. They're not really a climber. More of a sprawler. Plants are not like regular beans. Tepary are a more delicate, fragile, lacey kinda vine. Will kink, or even break, very easily. Production was "average". If you want to add these to your "old" bean pile, I'd be happy to send you some lol. I'm probably not going to grow them again.
As a side note, tepary must be becoming popular. In '13, Native Seeds only stocked the three I grew. Now they seem to have several varieties.

@rdback
I’m happy to see that you’ve grown them. I’m not sure if they would do well here or not. For some reason, I haven’t had a lot of luck with wispy type vines. I’m going to tag you in my seed starting thread. I want to show you something!
