Everwilde Farms - 1 Lb Blue Lake Bush Beans are an exceptional tasting bean. The plants produce plenty of green beans for freezing or canning. I suggest planting a couple of rows ever few weeks for continuous production. Blue Lake Bush Bean is commonly found in grocery stores canned or frozen. They're a hardy thick bean with great green flavor. You can boil, batter and fry, stir fry with onion and bacon, microwave, bake, use in casseroles, add to salads, pasta, side dishes etc.Blue Lake Bush beans are easy to grow and will grow in most any soil. I grow in sand (California desert hardiness zone 10b). Everwilde Farms Blue Lake Bush Beans have a high germination ratio so, there's no need to over plant. If you do, simply pull the seedling and replant elsewhere. Plant 6 - 8" apart, 1/2 - 1" deep. If you use a drip irrigation system plant on both sides of the hose. I reside in a desert climate and we use an irrigation system by planting in trenches and irrigation when plants need water.Plants are hardy, seem to be disease resistant and produce high yields. For a substantial yield I suggest growing rows using the Everwilde Farms - Lb Blue Lake Bush Beans. The more often you pick, the faster they grow. Bush beans are also great to amend soil conditions by adding nitrogen to soil. Use them for crop rotation by planting where you last grew corn or any other heavy feeding vegetable plant or grow next to vegetable plants that need more nitrogen. The plants produce tiny flowers that attract bees and butterflies. I haven't seen any bad bugs (slugs, beetles or aphids).Seeds arrive quickly and are packed and shipped exceptionally well . They're placed in a vault pack that's sealable and will keep your seeds dry and dark until the next planting. Seller (Everwilde Farms / Pleasant Peasant) also sends germination instructions and contact information (Wisconsin USA) in case you have any questions.If you want a thick and hardy green bean that's easy to grow with lots of fresh flavor then I recommend Everwilde Farms - Lb Blue Lake Bush Green Beans.
