Pencil Pod Black Wax Beans produce an excellent crop of 15 cm (6″) long beans on compact plants. This variety produces stringless, golden-yellow pods that encase black beans inside. The fleshy pods offer exceptional flavor and are ideal for home freezing and canning.
20g.(Approx. 55-60 seeds)
Preparation Ideas:Rinse beans under water. Dry and cut tips off both ends. Toss beans with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place beans in a single layer (do not overlap), on foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 F preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until cooked to desired tenderness.
Planting Instructions:
Garden Beans require warm soil and good growing conditions. The seeds will decay quickly when planted in cold wet soil.
Beans do best when planted in full sun. Warm, well drained soil is best. Planting where beans and peas have not been grown for at least a year will help reduce insect and disease problems.
Bush beans produce an entire crop all at once while pole beans produce over the entire growing season. Keeping beans picked on both types of plants will increase production. Depending on the needs of the gardener, those who want to can or freeze a lot of beans may want to grow bush beans for a large harvest all at once where planting pole varieties will allow the gardener to harvest all season long but making succession plantings of bush beans will produce similar results.
Dont work in bean patch while plants are wet/damp this will help reduce the spread of disease
Make sure plants receive adequate moisture during and immediately after flowering and once pods have formed to ensure a higher yield of nicely shaped beans.
Pole beans need support to climb. Use poles, strings, trellises or make tepees for the beans to climb.
