My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bean: Jacob's Cattle, or is it?

20 years ago

I recently obtained some seeds for Jacob's Cattle but unfortunately none germinated. I've noticed that Trout seems to be another name for JC. I asked a bean enthusiast here if he had any JC seeds. He didn't but said that Boston Beauty is, to all intents and purposes, JC.

Does anyone have any light to shed on this - Jacob's Cattle=Trout=Boston Beauty?
