$2.69   Bush Bean Trio

 

A three-bean salad in a packet! This trio of Blue Lake 274, Cherokee Wax, and Purple Queen bush beans is unsurpassed for flavor, productivity, reliability, and hardiness. Also called snap beans, they are eaten pod and all. They are one of the vegetables like tomatoes that taste significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the grocery store. These bush varieties produce early and all at once (unlike pole varieties that produce later but bear over a longer period of time). Blue Lake 274 is an old time favorite, noted for excellent flavor and texture, fresh or frozen. Cherokee Wax is a vigorous plant producing bright yellow pods. Purple Queen has glossy deep purple pods which turn forest green when cooked. All three varieties are ideal for canning and freezing - a colorful combination for creative cooking! This packet plants: two 10 foot rows. Recipe inside.

 

When to plant outside: Spring, after average last frost. If weather is still cool and wet, wait for warmer, dryer weather. Bean seeds will not germinate in cold, soggy weather.
