Phaseolus vulgaris ORGANIC Open Pollinated. Heirloom 65 days. 6'. A tasty old favorite, used fresh, green or dry-shelled. Vigorous 6' vines produce round, thick, meaty beans 9-10" long. The best green beans are picked before the seeds begin bulging in the pod. The dried beans are an excellent vegetable protein, which can be used as a meal stretcher. First introduced in 1864. Rust resistant; succeeds everywhere. Planting Directions: Direct sow in spring after frost danger has passed and soil temperature is a minimum of 60°, 70° is optimum. Plant 1”to 2” deep, 4-6” apart.
