I always order the stringless beans. I can't stand them otherwise.I usually by my seeds from Burpee Seed. They have my E-Mail address and notify me in Feb. about free postage for all orders for one or two days. Soon I will take inventory on what's left from last year and what I want from them. While I would prefer to just buy plants (they are like $.50 or $.75 each here) I got burnt with the wrong kind of plant too many times. I am working on a hot sauce recipe so I'll do more in peppers this year and I'll probably have about a dozen tomato plants of different varieties. Have to plant extra to allow for deaths and animal intrusions. For sweet corn I get 'Yellow Bodacious' from my local feed store. It's a very sweet yellow corn, I prefer yellow corn. Last year I got burnt on my string bean seeds. Bought bush bean seeds and got some kind of pole beans that had horrible strings on the beans making them sickening to eat with that string that had to be pulled out of the mouth. Makes me wonder what they're doing.
