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.

    I'm in the Appalachian mountains of western NC. We have cool nights and lots of rain. You know how you pick your pink eye purple hulls when the hull is beginning to dry down, but the bean inside is still plump and easy to cook? That's a shelly bean. Shelly is the stage they go through right before they dry. Pintos or black eyed peas are the same way. You could leave them to dry down, or you could pick them at the shelly stage. Cook them exactly like you cook your pink eye purple hulls.

    The Sample Seed Shop has a good selection of shelly beans. I especially like Goose, Bosnian Pole, Tiger Eye, and Red Eye Fall. For green beans, Flamingo is a gorgeous bright pink bean that my kids will fight over.
