Christmas Lima Beans
I was looking for what my late Father- in- Law used to call speckled butter beans and these were the only beans I found that looked like them . They came quickly, and were reasonably priced.
My husband and I planted them and they all came up . They look great and we can't wait until we can pick and cook some.
