We recommend a 4-8 hour soak on the second day of sprouting as well, especially if you are interested in harvesting the sprouts after 3 days. The exterior red shell should begin to soften and split within 36 hours of pre-soak. After the 4-8 hour soak on day 2, sprouts should be rinsed 2-3 times per day. Do not allow water to sit in the sprouting container after rinsing.

Adzuki doesn’t require much sunlight during sprouting because mature green shoots shouldn’t emerge until after the 3-4 day harvest window. Properly sprouted adzuki beans will have a soft and cracked exterior shell with only a hint of a sprouting tail.

Following the soak, seeds can be poured into the sprouting jar, bag, or tray. Black beans are notorious for high levels of decaying organic matter during sprouting, so it is critical to rinse sprouts 3-4 times per day, possibly even 5, in order to keep the beans clean and odor-free. The water may bubble, which is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide gas produced by the beans as they sprout. Take caution when draining water, as it will likely be stained black from the leaching of the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sprouts do not produce long, thin sprout tails; the tail may reach 0.5 inches when ready to eat.

You'll want to give about twelve inches of space between the plants. This plant loves the sun; place it in a sunny location with well-drained soil. If your soil is poor, you can apply a balanced fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10) at the time of planting. Avoid over-fertilizing. Sow seeds every two weeks for consistent harvesting. Keep soil only moist but not soaked during the germination period. After 10 days, the plants should poke through the soil. While growing, the plant should have two and a half inches of water a week. The plants can grow up to three feet tall, so they may benefit from a source of support, such as a pole or trellis.

Direct sowing is preferred, as bush beans don’t transplant well. A balanced fertilizer (5-10-10) can be applied before planting to boost phosphorus and potassium levels, which promote healthy root and pod development. To plant, sow seeds about 1 inch deep in the soil. Space seeds 4-6 inches apart, and keep rows spaced 18-24 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and room for growth. The soil should be warm—ideally above 65 F—for optimal germination, typically in 7-10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Beans require about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or supplemental watering. It’s best to water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves, which can lead to disease issues like fungal infections. Throughout the growing process, keep the area around the beans free of weeds, as they can compete for nutrients and water. Mulching around the base of the plants can help suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Companion plants like carrots, cucumbers, or marigolds can benefit beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Blue Lake 247 Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Lake 247 is a snap bean variety, meaning the pods are harvested while tender and immature before the seeds fully develop. Typically, the beans are ready to harvest 55-60 days after sowing. The best time to harvest is when the pods are about 6 inches long, firm, and crisp, but before they become fibrous. You can tell they’re ready when they are full-sized but still smooth, without visible bumps from the developing seeds inside. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more beans. To harvest, grasp the bean pod firmly and gently pull or snip it off the plant to avoid damaging the stem. The beans tend to mature quickly, especially in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Blue Lake 247 Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its uniform pod size and consistent tenderness, it became one of the preferred varieties for commercial growers in the mid-20th century, especially for processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Lake bean family originated in the Blue Lake District of California in the early 20th century.

Black Valentine beans don't transplant well, so direct sowing ensures strong, healthy plants. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep, ensuring the soil is well-draining and loose to allow the roots to spread easily. Space the seeds 4-6 inches apart within rows, and keep the rows 18-24 inches apart to allow air circulation and easy access during maintenance and harvesting. Bush beans are compact, so they don’t need trellising or other support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the seeds are in the ground, they require consistent moisture to germinate. Water the soil evenly, but avoid overwatering, as beans don’t like soggy conditions. Once established, water regularly, about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods. The goal is to keep the soil moist but not saturated. A layer of mulch around the base of the plants can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilizer is only needed in very poor soils.

The beans have a sweet flavor and creamy texture that are well-liked in many parts of the world. ~130 seeds per ounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!--attr--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cem\u003eVigna unguiculata\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Annual Crop: Not Intended to Overwinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeding Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Sow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow when soil temperatures are reliably above 60 F.

You can expect to start harvesting around 50-55 days after planting. The beans are ready to harvest when the pods are 4-6 inches long, firm, and smooth.

Wait until all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has warmed to at least 60 F. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil; beans thrive in full sun and won’t perform well in soggy conditions. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep directly into the garden. Avoid starting beans indoors, as they don’t transplant well. Space the seeds about 4-6 inches apart, and leave 18-24 inches between rows to give the plants room to spread and for easy access when harvesting. If you're planting in a smaller garden, consider using a grid pattern to maximize space efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide consistent watering throughout the growing season. Beans need about 1 inch of water per week, more during dry spells. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can encourage disease. If your soil is poor, a light side-dressing of fertilizer (low in nitrogen, high in phosphorus and potassium) after the plants have started to flower can boost yields. To deter pests, consider planting companion plants like marigolds, nasturtiums, or dill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Harvester Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect to start harvesting around 55. To know when to harvest, look for 4-6 inches long, firm, and slightly plump but still tender pods. The pods should snap easily when bent. If the beans inside start to bulge out too much, the pods may become tough and less flavorful. Harvest beans regularly for the best taste and texture, as frequent picking encourages the plants to produce more pods. When harvesting, be careful not to pull too hard, as this can disturb the shallow roots. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Harvester Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvester Bush Beans were bred in the mid-20th century, designed primarily for their disease resistance, productivity, and compact, bushy growth habit.

The optimal sowing depth for pinto beans is about 1-1.5 inches deep. Planting too shallow can result in poor root development, while planting too deep can hinder germination. For bush varieties like pinto, space the seeds about 3-4 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart. For pole varieties, plant seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate air circulation and room for growth, helping to prevent diseases and ensure a healthy crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinto beans require consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development. Water deeply once a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases; instead, use drip irrigation or carefully water at the base of the plants. Pintos benefit from a fertilizer boost at planting time. Use a fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content and higher phosphorus and potassium (e.g., 5-10-10). Excessive nitrogen can lead to lush foliage but poor pod production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Keep the area weed-free, especially during the early growth stages, as weeds can compete for nutrients and water. Good companion plants for pinto beans include carrots, beets, and marigolds. Avoid planting pinto beans near onions and garlic, as these can inhibit their growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Pinto Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinto Beans can be harvested when the pods are in their snap pea stage or their dry stage. For the snap stage harvest, when pods are young and tender, typically around 50-60 days after planting. At this stage, the beans inside are small, and the pods can be eaten whole. For harvesting snap beans, use scissors or pruners to cut the pods from the plant to avoid damaging the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dry harvesting, remove them when the pods are fully mature and dried on the plant, usually around 90-100 days after planting. The pods will be brittle, and the beans inside will rattle. For dry beans, wait until the pods are completely dry. Pick the pods on a dry day, then shell the beans by hand or by lightly threshing the pods.

Whether direct sowing or transplanting, thin out the strongest starts every 18-24 inches in the garden as true leaves establish.

Make sure the soil is loose and moist, and the plants are in full sun. For an ongoing harvest, sow seeds every week or so so that different plants are at different stages of production. Pack a one-inch layer of soil over the seeds, and arrange them in rows 2 feet apart with plants 4 inches apart. Water them quite often to make sure the sun doesn't dehydrate them. Seeds should be sown directly in loose soil with two inches allowed between each plant and twenty inches between each row. Cover each seed with one inch of soil in full sun. To avoid letting the plants wilt in the sun, water them often, but do so near the roots so as not to cause disease on the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Provider Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvider bush beans are ready to harvest about 50-60 days from sowing or once the pods are 5-8 inches long.

This should be done after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently above 60 F. These beans are sensitive to cold, so planting too early can stunt their growth. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep directly into well-drained soil. Space each seed about 3–6 inches apart in rows, ensuring the rows are about 18–24 inches apart. This allows for good airflow, reducing the risk of disease, and ensures the plants have enough room to spread.

Burpee beans can do well in dry climates, and only need to be watered once a week. When the pods are four to eight inches long, they are ready to be harvested. This should be after fifty days.

Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 3 inches apart, with rows 18-24 inches apart. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, moderately rich soil to promote strong growth. These beans require 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, so full sun is ideal. For continuous harvests, consider succession planting every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season, which ensures a steady supply of fresh beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter planting, keep the beans consistently watered, providing about 1-1.5 inches of water per week. Avoid overwatering, as beans dislike soggy soil. Beans are light feeders and generally don't require heavy fertilization, though adding a balanced fertilizer at planting can help if your soil is poor. It's important to avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as beans fix their own nitrogen and too much nitrogen can result in excessive foliage at the expense of pod production. Weeding is essential, especially early on, and mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans grow well alongside corn, cucumbers, radishes, marigolds, and carrots, but avoid planting them near alliums (garlic, onions) which can stunt their growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Tendergreen Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTendergreen Bush Beans are ready for harvest around 50-65 days after planting. To determine if they’re ready, look for firm, crisp pods around 6 inches long. Snap beans are harvested before the seeds inside fully develop, meaning the pods should still feel smooth and firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse your hands to snap the beans off the plant, being careful not to damage the stems. Regular harvesting (every few days) encourages continued production. Tendergreen has a particularly short harvest window compared to other bush beans, which makes it perfect for one large batch of preservation (canning, freezing, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Tendergreen Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTendergreen was first introduced in the 1920s and has been a popular home garden variety ever since. Bred for disease resistance and its stringless quality, Tendergreen was developed to produce high yields of high-quality snap beans even under challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTendergreen is a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys fresh green beans and values an easy-to-grow, productive plant. It’s commonly used for fresh eating, freezing, or canning and offers a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and protein, which contribute to its health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccession planting, where new seeds are sown every few weeks, is particularly beneficial for Tendergreen Bush Beans because it extends the harvest period.

For optimal results, sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Beans don’t usually respond well to transplanting, so direct seeding is best. Plant seeds 4-6 inches apart, allowing for good airflow, which helps prevent disease. Rows should be about 18-24 inches apart to allow for easier harvesting and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Wax Bush Beans are fairly low-maintenance, making them ideal for organic gardens. They fix their nitrogen, so they don’t need heavy fertilization. Instead, enrich the soil with well-rotted compost or organic matter to provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure. Keep the area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulching with organic materials like straw can help suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans prefer consistent moisture but should not sit in overly wet soil, which can lead to root rot. Watering at the base of the plant keeps leaves dry, reducing the chance of fungal diseases.

Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil.

Sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil after the danger of frost has passed and when soil temperatures reach around 60-85 F. Beans thrive in warm conditions, so wait until the soil has fully warmed up in spring. Space the seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows, ensuring at least 18-24 inches between rows to allow for good air circulation and easy access for harvesting. If you're planting in small spaces or raised beds, you can stagger the plants slightly to maximize space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater beans regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases. Beans prefer about 1 inch of water per week. Mulching around the plants with straw or compost helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain soil temperature. Adding organic compost or a balanced organic fertilizer like fish emulsion or alfalfa meal can provide an extra nutrient boost early in the season. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can lead to excess leafy growth at the expense of bean production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Organic Blue Lake Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Lake Bush Beans are snap beans, meaning they are harvested when the pods are tender and the beans inside are immature.

When possible, pick beans regularly, about every 2-3 days, to encourage the plant to keep producing more beans throughout the growing season. Use your fingers or pruning shears to gently remove the beans from the plant without damaging the stems.

It’s best to plant them directly into the garden after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach 60-70 F. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil, as beans don’t thrive in soggy conditions. Space the seeds 2-4 inches apart, with rows spaced 12-18 inches to allow good airflow and room for growth. Proper spacing helps reduce the risk of diseases and ensures the plants grow healthy and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMascotte Bush Beans are rather low-maintenance once planted. Water them deeply once or twice a week, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent mildew. Beans don’t need much fertilizer, as they fix their own nitrogen, but starting with nutrient-rich soil or mixing in compost can boost growth. Regular weeding and mulching help control weeds and retain soil moisture. Additionally, Mascotte beans benefit from companion planting with crops like corn, cucumbers, carrots, and marigolds, but avoid planting them near onions or garlic, which can hinder their growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Mascotte Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMascotte is a snap bean variety, meaning you harvest the pods while tender and before the seeds inside fully mature.

Pick the beans by gently pulling them off the plant, or use scissors to snip them. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more beans, so pick often!

It’s best to plant them directly into the garden after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach 60-70 F. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil, as beans don’t thrive in soggy conditions. Space the seeds 2-4 inches apart, with rows spaced 12-18 inches to allow good airflow and room for growth. Proper spacing helps reduce the risk of diseases and ensures the plants grow healthy and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMasai Bush Beans are relatively low-maintenance once planted, but some care ensures a productive harvest. Water them deeply once or twice a week, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent mildew. Beans don’t need much fertilizer, as they fix their own nitrogen, but starting with nutrient-rich soil or mixing in compost can boost growth. Regular weeding and mulching help control weeds and retain soil moisture. Additionally, Masai beans benefit from companion planting with crops like corn, cucumbers, carrots, and marigolds, but avoid planting them near onions or garlic, which can hinder their growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Masai Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beans are a snap variety, meaning they’re harvested for their tender pods, which are ready in about 47 days. Pods should be picked when 4-5 inches long, crisp, and before the seeds inside start to bulge. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production. Masai Bush Beans are compact, high-yielding, and heat-tolerant, making them an excellent choice for gardeners with limited space or warmer climates. Their tender, sweet flavor is ideal for fresh eating, in salads, or sautéed, and they offer the added benefits of being a nutrient-rich, low-calorie food source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Masai Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis very popular baby French filet bean is one of the most popular in Europe.

The recommended sowing depth for Black Turtle Beans is about 1-1.5 inches deep. Plant the seeds with the eye of the bean facing downward to ensure proper root growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal growth, space the seeds about 1-2 inches apart within rows. Each row should be spaced 18-24 inches apart to allow adequate room for the plants to develop and to facilitate air circulation, which helps prevent disease. If planting multiple rows, ensure the rows are parallel and evenly spaced to maximize sunlight exposure and ease of access for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Turtle Beans benefit from companion planting. Good companions include corn, squash, and marigolds, which can help deter pests and improve soil health. Avoid planting beans near alliums (garlic, onions) and fennel, as these can inhibit bean growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack beans generally do not require heavy fertilization. However, incorporating well-rotted compost or a balanced organic fertilizer into the soil before planting can promote healthy growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, as this can lead to lush foliage with fewer beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater the beans regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or supplemental watering. During dry periods, increase watering frequency to prevent the soil from drying out.

Consistent soil moisture is important for germination and early growth, so regular watering is advised until the plants are established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance during the growing season is relatively straightforward. Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Since beans are nitrogen-fixing plants, they generally do not require additional nitrogen fertilizers. Incorporating compost into the soil before planting can provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure. Companion planting with crops like corn, cucumbers, and radishes can be beneficial while planting near onions and garlic should be avoided due to potential growth inhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Dragon Tongue Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting can begin when the pods are about 6 inches long and before the seeds inside begin to bulge, typically around 60 days after planting.

Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil.

Work some balanced fertilizer or compost into the soil before planting to provide the necessary nutrients. Purple Queen Bush Beans require consistent moisture, particularly when flowering and forming pods. Water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather. It’s essential to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular weeding is crucial, especially when the plants are young. Be careful when weeding so as not to disturb the shallow root systems. As the beans grow, their foliage will begin to shade the ground, which helps suppress weeds. Also, be on the lookout for pests such as aphids or bean beetles, and manage them as needed. Purple Queen Bush Beans do well when planted alongside carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, and marigolds. Avoid planting them near onions, garlic, or fennel, as these can inhibit bean growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Purple Queen Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple Queen Bush Beans are typically ready to harvest 50-65 days after planting. You’ll know they’re ready when the pods are about 5-6 inches long, firm, and have a deep purple color. Harvesting at the right time is key—if left too long, the beans can become tough. To harvest, simply use your fingers to gently pinch the pods off the plant or use scissors to snip them away. Be careful not to damage the plant when harvesting, as it will continue to produce more pods over several weeks. This variety is a snap bean, meaning it is harvested and eaten while the pods are still tender and the beans inside are immature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Purple Queen Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting characteristics of the Purple Queen Bush Bean is its color-changing property—the purple pods turn green when cooked. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bean also stands out for its ability to thrive in various climates, including hotter and drier conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Purple Queen Bush Beans, like other beans, are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium.

The soil should be at least 60 F, well-draining, and have a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0). Beans prefer loose, fertile soil, so it’s a good idea to amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Direct sow the seeds outside once the soil is warm enough. These treated seeds are coated with chemicals that are designed to ensure better germination rates and protect young plants from common soil-borne problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, aiming for about 1 inch per week. It is best to water early in the morning or with a drip hose to avoid water on the leaves too often. Beans are light feeders, meaning they don’t require fertilizer unless soils are particularly poor. During the growing season, you can give them a light side-dressing of compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer if the plants look pale or malnourished, but too much nitrogen can result in lush leaves with fewer beans. The treated seeds have special protection in the early stages, but once established, they should be treated as normal plants are for pests and diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Contender Bush Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect to start harvesting around 50-55 days after planting. The beans are ready to harvest when the pods are 4-6 inches long, firm, and smooth. At this stage, they will still be stringless and tender. To harvest, simply pinch or snip the pods off the plant, avoiding pulling or tugging at it, as this could damage or uproot it. You should harvest beans every couple of days to encourage more production. They will develop a string and become tough if left to mature too far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Contender Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBred specifically for early maturity and disease resistance, Contender was created to be a versatile, adaptable bean that could handle various growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreated seeds are coated with substances designed to protect the seed from seed rot and fungal diseases.
