Odd request but does anyone have some Royal Corona bean seeds. I have a vision of a great meal. I am willing to trade some Domingo , sunflower, or large cantaloupe seeds. This is not the normal request but I had some at a restaurant the other day and they were unreal good.

Thanks for mentioning them, I had to look them up as I had never even heard of them. I am a big bean fan, from green beans, to horticural's to lima's. I love them all and the 'Royal Corona' looks like it would be delicious.
A.I. gave me this description; "Corona beans are a type of white runner bean that are large, creamy, and starchy. They are also known as giant white beans, sweet white runners, or gigante beans."
It looks like they aren't commonly available with most seed companies here in the US yet. But i did find them on amazon by a Sherwood Seeds co.

Yes I saw that listing. I am not certain on the vendor. Add says sponsored. Item weight 16oz , package weight 0.1 oz. Seed pack 10+ seeds. Plus no reviews. Just appears odd. I am glad to know there are other bean lovers that like to grow giant vegetables.

I agree warblie, I have never heard of that company either. Worst case scenario, you can try planting the ones that are for food.

big moon, I have done that a couple of times and have had good results.Make sure they are raw and not even par boiled and also make sure they are not F1s etc.
