Red Turtle

Semi runner dry bean. Blossom white. First dry pods in about 85 to 90 days. Produces a prolific number of 4 inch pods and solid medium red seed. Easy to shell. Good in soup, chili or as a baked bean. One of my original beans discovered growing among Black Turtle Soup in the 1970's, and named by me. I first listed this bean in the 1980 yearbook, and to date has been listed by 10 other members. Does well in both cool and hot summers.
