The Blue Lake Bush Bean speaks to luscious strength and vigor doesn't it? This dark green bush bean has been around for many years and known for its crisp and flavourful texture. Growing to about 2' tall, a pole or trellis may help to give this hearty plant some added support, but not completely necessary.
When: Can be started indoors post frost and transplanted in late May - early June.
Tip: Soak seeds overnight prior to planting.
Sowing Directions: Plant about 2" deep into moist soil - approximately 3" apart. If planting consecutive rows, they should be about 1.5' apart. Full sun is best. Germination happens at about the 10 day mark.
Harvest: 50-60 days. Helpful hint - sow them every few weeks to ensure a harvest throughout the season. This plant produces 'all at once' so once the crop is yielded, there is no additional return. Doesn't play well in the garden box next to chives, onion and garlic - so best to keep those at bay!
