seedkeeping: Potawatomi Pole Lima (Phaseolus lunatus) was given to William Woys Weaver by Andrew Bucienski from the Potawatomi Nation in Wisconsin. Lima Beans were domesticated first in the Andes around 2000BC and then a smaller type was bred in Mesoamerica around 800AD. They travelled north of the Rio Grande around 1300AD. (Thanks Wikipedia - please correct me if I’m wrong). Potawatomi are Anishinaabe people from the Great Plains, Upper Mississippi River, and Western Great Lakes. And their Lima Bean is so beautiful. If you are Potawatomi and want this bean - contact me! We only grew about this much, but I can try to increase it next year for you. #potawatomi #potawatomilima #potawatomipolelima #phaseoluslunatus #limabean #roughwoodseedcollection #williamwoysweaver #seedkeeping #seedsaving -- source link
