Re: Gourd

Well of course I can find 2 of every catalog except this one. 
Pinetree Garden Seeds www.superseeds.com.  They are called Violetta
something or other.  Purple pole beans.  Pretty green leaves w/
reddish purple stems.  Don't have any beans just yet.  Supposedly they
are purple and very flavorful.  Have a slightly nutty flavor that the
Pinetree folks just love.
