     not too many but some of these are blends of multiple varieties   
   so they can include more in those (like Peregion is what i   
   consider a blend of about 6 varieties).   
      
     i'm now getting towards the end of sorting the beans from   
   last season and considering which ones i'll try to get   
   pictures taken.  some nice new ones and continued projects   
   plus some new crosses - pics eventually...   
      
     notable new beans were some UC Davis common bean mosaic   
   virus resistant beans that i grew for the first year.  a   
   few of them seem early enough that they'll work for me here   
   in mid-Michigan.  a few issues from them but can be worked   
   around as they didn't impact getting a harvest.  so we'll   
   see how they grow next year and go from there.  the general   
   plan is to get them to cross with the beans i usually grow   
   to get those resistant genes spread to the regular varieties.   
   it will probably take 5 - 10yrs for that to happen in any   
   significant way.   
      
     always interesting to see what happens next.  i have a lot   
   of fun crosses continuing to show up.  the camera doesn't   
   really capture them as nice as i'd like.  i need a better   
   skill set and so far not enough practice or patience for me   
   to do them justice.  another goal for this year...  :)
