Roger Winn has a real good website full of pictures. He has sent me several varieties over the years. If you poke around his website, he has pictures and info not just on Beans, but all types of vegetables
I edited to remove the website as it is no longer available.

Some beautiful beans in there hairymooseknuckles, I am really attracted by the pretty colors even though they mostly look brown when cooked. I will be growing Rio zape and yellow eye as new varieties for me this year.

brownrexx, Are you talking about Steuben's Yellow Eye? If so I grew that one last year. It's suppose to be a bush variety, but it will need a little support or at least it did in my garden.

Yes it's Steuben's yellow eye. Good to know about needing support. I will plant it beside the fence that's around the area where I grow beans. I can use some of my garden twine to hold it against the fence.

brownrexx, Let’s talk about the Steuben's yellow eye bean. When I did my grow out of it, I got just enough to save seeds for another go. I’m not sure they liked my area, but then again I was working with old seed. Maybe I could try them again this year. They really didn’t require a lot of work, but did need a little support.

hairymooseknuckles, I still have a supply from 2 years ago. My problem is that I grew more beans than we can eat so I have about a 2 year supply in my pantry. I need to cook with them more often. I am not planning on growing many dry beans this year. I have a local heirloom called Lazy Housewife that I may grow just to see how it looks but that's probably all I will grow.

brownrexx, I have Lazy Housewife too. I have another one that says the “Real” Lazy Housewife. So either there was a bean floating around with the wrong name or there were a girl out there that was “Real Lazy.” LAUGHING!!!

Apparently there is some variability in Lazy Housewife. I suspect that that is why there is also a Lazy Wife. It should be a white-seed greasy used both as a snap and dry bean.

hairymooseknuckles, paquebot, the story here in PA Dutch country is that this bean is called Lazy Housewife because if you want to eat the pods that you do not need to pull off the strings. There are 2 farm museums in my area that have gardens growing the varieties of vegetables originally brought here by the early settlers. They also sell the seeds.
