Ferry-Morse 1432 Bean Seeds, Blue Lake (28 Gram Packet)
The fleshy, tender pods, about 5 1/2 inches long and string-less, have mild flavor and make excellent snap beans. Often dried on the vines for their clear white shell beans. High in vitamins A, B, and C. This packet will plant approximately a 28 foot row. Avoid working around beans when wet; this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning. Along a trellis about 6 feet tall, sow a seed every 4 inches when soil is warm. Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 8 inches when plants have 4 leaves. Pick when pods are nearly mature, but beans are not fully developed and pods are still crisp.
