Potawatomi Pole Lima (Phaseolus lunatus) from the Potawatomi Nation in Wisconsin. Lima Beans were first domesticated in the Andes four thousand years ago but they did not travel North of the Rio Grande until 1300 AD. Potawatomi are Anishinaabe people from the Great Plains, Upper Mississippi River, and Western Great Lakes, though you might try their gorgeous and highly-productive lima bean stewed with corn in succotash, a traditional Wampanoag recipe from New England. 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
