Kentucky Wonder - Pole Bean Seeds - Organic

HEIRLOOM, ORGANIC.

The Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean, an heirloom seed dating back to the mid-1800s, is highly valued for its outstanding taste. Its vine extends 5 to 7 feet, yielding clusters of 7 to 10-inch pods. These pods, oval-shaped, thick, and slightly bent, are string-less, full-bodied, and tender—ideal for consumption fresh, frozen, or dried for shell beans. These plants are low-maintenance and prolific, ensuring an ample harvest for continuous enjoyment throughout the season. 10g ~ 50 seeds.

GROWING TIPS

Start seed outdoors after danger of frost has passed, usually 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Inoculating seeds w/ nitrogen fixing-bacteria may increase yields in areas newly planted in beans. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Wait until air & soil has warmed up in the spring. Seeds planted in cold soil can germinate slowly and rot. Pole beans provide many small harvests through most of the summer. Can be planted again in mid-late summer for an autumn harvest.
