My Dr. Martin lima beans are finally starting to set fruit. The variety was developed in 1920 by a Philadelphia dentist who had a side hustle as a plant breeder. He apparently sold each bean for a dollar (~$15 in today's currency). Seeds are about the size of a U.S. quarter and are super tender. Vines are vigorous climbers so you'll need a trellis. A big one. #LimaBean #DocMartins #garden #delco #gardening #legume #allotment #seeds #PlantBreeding #fabaceae
