BUSH BEAN
Phaseolus vulgaris
We love bush beans because they mature early, come in a wide variety of flavors, textures and colors and are very easy to grow. They are planted directly into the vegetable garden after all danger of frost, 2-3 inches apart, in rows 18-30 inches apart.
To ensure a continuous supply make successive sowings every 3-4 weeks up until two months before the first anticipated fall frost. Pick snap and filet beans when the seeds inside are very small. Pick shell beans when seeds are fully formed but not yet dried out. Dried beans are left on the bush until the pods are brittle and easy to split.

Called "Haricot Verts" in France, these thin, tender, stringless gourmet baby beans have superb flavor--they are among the tastiest of all beans. They mature at 4-5 inches long and because they are so tender, cooking time is quite short. Each sturdy easy to grow plant can produce up to 1/4 lb. or more delectable filets. Plant at two week intervals throughout the season for continuous harvest. Highly recommended.
