Lonnie Morgan Beans

We are pleased to announce that our Launie Morgan Cornfield beans have set fruit. Back around 2014 I borrowed some seed from the Jackson County Seed Library. It was quite old (1992 if I remember, when Sarah was born), and wasn't frozen, so I had my doubts about germination. Out of perhaps 50 seeds, only two sprouted and I babied them heavily, but they weren't setting any beans at all (I think it was the heat). Now that the stalks have died back and it's cooling off, they've been put on a nice clutch of beans! Anybody out there know who Launie Morgan was? #oldseeds #cornfieldbeans #seedlibrary
