Planting Tips:

100+ days for dry beans.  Not cold tolerant, beans need warm soil of 65 degrees or better.  Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield if growing for fresh eating.  Grows best in full sun with well watered soil.  Boost yields and germination by adding inoculants.

When seed pods are fully dry, harvest full plants and shake vigorously in a trash can to separate seeds from plants and dried seed pods.

Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.

    The first thing I notice right away was the distinct color, shape, with a soft sort of fuzz and sort of "regal" outline of the string bean pods. You'll know exactly what I mean when you grow these. I found that very fascinating about this bean. I plan to grow more next year again. Yes it only grows about 18 inches tall. I got okay productivity, but it could be the clay soil I have here in Va.
