Orca Bush Dry Bean

Phaseolus vulgaris
 
Black and white speckled dry bush bean called Orca after the iconic and endangered whale.   Flavor is rich and creamy when cooked.  Enjoy in a stew or make a pot of beans!  Black and white do make grey so be aware that the color does not stay when cooked.  Bush Habit- grows to 2’ or so and dries down mid September.  Thresh with a group of friends while you scheme and plan action about how to make the earth a healthy place for our Salish Sea orca pods.  Breach the Lower Snake River Dams!
