Round, fleshy, brittle, medium yellow pods have a rich flavour. Erect, bushy plants bear an abundance of tender, string-less pods at an early date. Anyone who likes fresh bush beans should definitely try this variety! White SeedHOW TO GROW\n\u003cp\u003e4-5 seeds\/gram Culture: Beans tolerate a wide range of soil types. Their best growth is in light, organic, well drained soil with a pH of about 6.5. Beans have a distinct dislike for cold, wet soils, so sow seed only after the soil has warmed to at least 16 C (60 F). Sow 2.5 cm (1\") deep and 8 cm (3\") apart in rows spaced 45 to 70 cm (18 to 28\") apart. To ensure a continuous harvest, sow bush-type varieties every 10 days until mid-July. Keep beans evenly watered, particularly when the plants are in flower and when production of the pods start. Avoid the use of high nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen promotes excessive foliage. Avoid disturbing beans when leaves are damp to reduce the incidence of disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"body-titleP3\" align=\"right\"

A tried and true variety producing top quality green beans with a distinctive pleasing taste. Brown SeedHOW TO GROW\n\u003cp\u003e4-5 seeds\/gram The growth requirements for pole beans are mostly the same as bush beans. The main difference is pole beans need to be grown on trellises, open weave fencing, nylon bean netting strung between supports or on bamboo or pole teepees. Securely anchor temporary structures to prevent collapse during the growing season.
