Royal Burgundy bean
$4.00
(Phaseolus vulgaris)
Bush. Plants are produce a good crop of purple pods which turn a deep green when cooked. They bear heavily at first, but continue producing for a while. This is my family’s old, faithful bean for freezing and canning; I can’t remember when my mother first started growing it, but it was the first bean we saved seed from. 55 days to harvest, 95 days to maturity. 30 seeds/packet.
Out of stock
Plant after last frost; soil must be warm or seed will rot. Sow 1” deep. Space bush beans 2-4” apart. Pick green beans before seeds start swelling, and seed when pods are fairly dry; seed must be dry enough to not dent with a fingernail for storage. Dry beans can be further dried on a tarp, then threshed by dancing on them and winnowing away the chaff.
