Black Nicaraguan bean
$4.00
(Phaseolus vulgaris)
Beautiful upright bushes are incredibly productive, keep their pods off the ground well, and are easily harvested by cutting the whole plants and trampling them, making this one of the easiest dry bush beans I’ve grown. A ‘black turtle’ type bean with matte-black small seeds. Beautiful.

Plant after last frost; soil must be warm or seed will rot. Sow bush beans 1” deep, 3” apart in rows 2′ apart. Pick dry beans when pods are fully dry; seed must be dry enough to not dent with a fingernail for storage. You can also cut whole plants and dry them that way. Dry beans can be further dried on a tarp, then threshed by treading on them and winnowing away the chaff.
