Heirloom Vegetable Seeds
Bush Bean-Blue Lake Green Bean An old time favorite with exceptional Blue Lake flavor, it is noted for retaining its excellent flavor and texture when frozen. This snap bean (or green bean) grown on short bushy plants is eaten pod and all and is one of those vegetables like tomatoes that tastes significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the grocery store. Blue Lake 274 produces a very large crop of round 6” pods all at once. An excellent variety for containers. This packet plants: One 10-foot row. When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. Sow in spring, after average last frost. If the weather is cold and wet, wait for warmer weather. For all areas, bush beans can be planted in succession to produce beans all season. Seed a new crop every 7 to 14 days up to 60 days before first fall frost. Note for Southwest and South
This heirloom variety, introduced before 1864, has excellent flavor. A heavy producer, it is meaty and tender. Growing well even in hot climates, it out-produces most other pole bean plants with heavy crops of 9” long, gently curved, oval pods. It is a multi-use bean that is great for drying, shelling, and fresh green beans. Grow it up poles, trellises, fences, or a teepee made of poles (which is a great tent for kids or a cool spot to grow lettuce!).
Bush Bean Trio
This is a favorite at Glenbrook! "A three-bean salad in a packet! This trio of Blue Lake 274, Cherokee Wax, and Purple Queen bush beans is unsurpassed for flavor, productivity, reliability, and hardiness. Also called snap beans, they are eaten pod and all. They are one of the vegetables like tomatoes that taste significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the grocery store. These bush varieties produce early and all at once (unlike pole varieties that produce later but bear over a longer period of time). Blue Lake 274 is an old time favorite, noted for excellent flavor and texture, fresh or frozen. Cherokee Wax is a vigorous plant producing bright yellow pods. Purple Queen has glossy deep purple pods which turn forest green when cooked. All three varieties are ideal for canning and freezing ? a colorful combination for creative cooking! This packet plants: two 10 foot rows. Recipe inside. When to plant outside: Spring, after average last frost. If weather is still cool and wet, wait for warmer, dryer weather.
