Pink Tip Greasy

Tip said to turn pink just before the seeds ripen. Eat the whole pad with ripening seeds. 100/oz 5/16x1/4x1/4". Easy to shell, edible at all stages. Vigorous vines ripen seed from about 120 days to frost. Plants still loaded with unripe pods in mid October 2014 (frost) and 2021 (when I picked a fraction). None ripened in 2020. Huge crop in 2021. Very similar to Margaret Best Greasy Cutshort from same company and even more productive, and as late and productive as similar-sized but grey/purple Amish Knuttle. 800 seeds from 2' of trellis, about 8 plants, in half shade 100/oz. Pods are called 'greasy' due to lack of fuzz. One Appalachian woman said they dry the whole pod strung up, then boil pod with seeds for 2 hours. 3-year seed germinated 90%. I can send 25 2021 seed. It ripened nearly 100% by mid Oct. frost with about 20% of later seed molding. 1320 seeds from planting 10 in half shade (a record)!
