Bean Blue Lake Pole
Phaseolus vulgaris
This dependable, high yielding plant produces 5-6” nearly fiber free pods. Beans have a buttery flavor and are ideal for fresh eating, canning, and freezing. These bush beans don’t require a trellis and are mature before many pole bean types so they are ideal for those with a short growing season. The compact plant size is ideal for container gardening. Beans are a warm season crop best grown by direct sowing outdoors when daytime soil temperatures average at least 60°F. Innoculating your seeds will increase yields as well as fortify the soil for future crops. Beans do not require fertile soil and will grow well in a range of conditions as long as there is good drainage and full sun. For a continuous supply, make successive sowings every 2-3 weeks during the summer and be proactive about harvesting frequently. This will ensure tender beans and higher yields.
