2014 we set our first trial of Lina Cisco's Bird Egg Beans. They hopped out of the ground and sprang to blossom as fast as any of our dry bean selections do. They quantity of pods were a bit less than others, with the pods nicely filled with the flavorful beans. We will definitely give these another run next year.
