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

seedv2 Bean Pole-Kentucky wonder

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!).

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!

seedv4 Bitter Melon                                        This Asian vegetable is widely used in the orient for the added dimension its bitter flavor gives to dishes. The bitter taste is due to quinine, a flavor that can be quickly acquired. Its sharp flavor softens as it absorbs other flavors. Bitter melon is a perfect compliment to beef, poultry, or seafood---either stir-fried, stewed, steamed, braised, or curried. Has an unusual cooling effect when eaten in the heat of summer. When mature, melons are VERY showy. In fact, the vine is attractive and the plant is commonly grown as an ornamental. Cooking instructions listed inside packet.

When to plant outside: Spring, 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures warm up. Also called Bitter Gourd or Balsam Pear.
