Ever wondered what you would get if you crossed a marrowfat pea with a purple-flowered grey pea? Or how to breed a short pea with sweet, wrinkled seeds, or a bush bean with golden wax pods? Pea and Bean Genetic Labs makes plant breeding in your own garden easy to understand – and easy to plan. You don't need to be a scientist to breed your own peas and beans. Pea and Bean Genetic Labs is made for home gardeners who want to get the most out of their garden – bigger harvests, varieties of their own and seeds to save year after year. Peas and beans are among the best crops for growing more of your own food: rich in protein and fibre, filling, and an easy way to put more vegetables and legumes on the table. They also capture nitrogen from the air and leave the soil better for the next crop. When you grow them yourself, you decide whether anything is sprayed at all – and saving your own seed makes the most of the soil you have. Describe two plants from what you can see and choose what you want to achieve. The program works out what the cross can give, in which generation your goal appears, how many seeds to sow and when you have a true-breeding line of your own – season by season, with clear graphs. HOW IT HELPS YOU • Cross different types with each other: shelling, marrowfat, sugar, grey and soup peas – or snap, wax and dry beans. Each plant keeps its type and variety name, so you always know what you crossed • A ready-made plan: which plants and seeds to keep each season, and how many seeds to sow • Honest answers: when the outcome depends on hidden genes, every possibility is shown – the program never guesses • Learns from your own plants: count what came up, and the program works out which hidden genes the parents carry and suggests what to count next • Diary with its own graph: record what you actually do – cross in a newly bought variety, keep only the best plants – and follow the whole family tree season by season • My projects: as many projects as you like for each species, with notes, dates and safe automatic saving • Step-by-step instructions for crossing pea and bean PERFECT IF YOU… • want a pea that suits your garden – sweet marrowfat peas on a short plant that needs no support, or a classic yellow soup pea • want to develop your own pea or bean variety and save the seeds year after year • are curious about genetics and want to see Mendel's laws at work in your own garden – just like Mendel, who discovered them with peas BASED ON REAL GENETICS Only traits with known, published genetics that growers judge the same way are included – and the sources are listed for every species. Swedish and English. Works completely offline – no account, no ads, no subscription, no data collection. The program provides guidance; weather, growing conditions and insects also affect the result. Beans must always be cooked before they are eaten.
