2023 - Seeds and Stuff I've bought/acquired - also known as The Confessional.

A packet of Yin Yang dwarf beans from Marshall's (80 beans in the packet). I tried these last year and they were a disaster. Nothing to do with being neglected and overshadowed by the dahlias, of course.
This year I'm going to grow them nearer the back door where I can keep a closer eye on them.
