Beautifull pictures, thank you. Your Geraldi mulberry is gorgeous, i hope to be able to find one in Europe this fall.
Can you please give me the botanical name of your “Perennial wild bean” ? I would like to make some research on edibility and hardiness, thanks !
Hi Nicolas, perennial wild bean is Phaseolus polystachios. In the US it can handles at least -20F.
