SCARBOROUGH SEEDS Blue Lake Beans 30 Seeds
50-70 days. Annual. Treated Blue Lake Bush Beans, also known as string beans or snap peas, are one of the most common and tasty garden vegetables grown in plots all over the globe. This is due to their quick germination and ability to mature; a green bean pod can be harvested as soon as just fifty days after being sown! This variety grows in the shape of a bush, and therefore does not need a pole or support. Because green beans are annual, you can simply pull the root from the ground when it’s time to pick them.
Green beans can be grown indoors, however due to their size and requirement of having full sun, outdoors is best. To get started, sow the string bean seeds just one inch beneath the surface in a loose soil, with four inches between plants and eighteen to twenty four inches between rows. Bush Beans need light, but even, watering. Because the leaves can become afflicted with disease if made wet, you should water as close to the root as possible. If you do find that a leaf has become diseased, remove it from the plant immediately, as the disease can spread. You can begin harvesting beans when they are about three to five inches long; this will usually be around fifty to seventy days. Leaving mature beans on the plant can stop or slow production, so be sure to keep an eye on these rapid growers! Keep string bean seeds stored in a cool dry place to use next season!
