Bean Asparagus Red Noodle

JS2350

Asparagus Bean 25 seeds ■●

Bean Asparagus Red Noodle is a highly sought after red version of the yard long bean. The young delicious pods are dark red, tender and have a thick meaty but crisp texture with a very small seed cavity. The plants grow vigorously given enough heat and produce lots of long beans over a long period. They will need a very hot sheltered spot outside but best grown under glass.

Asparagus Bean Aprx 25 seeds ■●

You can grow these tropical beans like runner beans starting off in small pots in late April before planting out after last frosts or grow in a greenhouse border. These tropical Asparagus Yard Long Beans need heat to do well though and a hot sheltered spot or preferably a greenhouse will give you the best results where they are very fast growing. This variety will produce pods from 15" to 36" long. Regular cropping required and pick the pods young. Please note that the plants do not like acid soil.

Red climbing French Bean Aprx 75 seeds ■●

However I know how popular runner beans are so we are offering you some excellent new and old varieties to try. Bean Barlotto Lingua is sometimes called ‘Fire-Tongue’, a mid-early climbing french bean with long, inflated pod containing around 7 cream coloured beans with red ‘splodges’. Sow Apr-mid Jul.

Bean Dried Black Eyed

JS3019

Black Eyed Bean or Pea. Aprx 75 Seeds ■●

Dwarf Bean Habit

Black-eyed peas or black-eyed beans (actually a bean not a pea) are a subspecies of the cowpea and were first grown and relished in Asia and Africa but became popular in southern states of the USA. These heat loving plants prefer a well drained sandy loamy soil, and are not tolerant of cold weather so best raised under glass and planted out in Mid june to avoid frosts. A bush plant grown like dwarf french beans and harvested when dried on the plant by the sun perhaps best grown in a polytunnel in the UK.

Bean Dried Black Turtle

JS3018

Black Turtle Beans. Aprx 75 Seeds ■●

Dwarf Bean Habit

The black turtle bean is very easy to grow in a well-prepared soil, and they’re a fiber-packed, heart-healthy staple diet in many ethnic dishes. Grow just like dwarf beans although these grow to about 2ft tall and would benefit from some twigs or other supports as in growing peas. Leave in the sun to fully dry and only harvest once the beans turn black. Black beans are so versatile, you can enjoy them in many recipes in place of red or pinto beans. They’re great in chilis or stews, and are delicious in rice and bean recipes, as well as burritos and enchiladas. The Black Bean has lovely purple flowers.

Bean Dried Cannellini

JS3017

Cannellini Dried Beans. Aprx 75 Seeds ■●

Dwarf Bean Habit

Cannellini beans are a healthy source of protein and an excellent addition to any vegetable garden given an early start under glass before planting out. Commercially produced as a dried bean the plants themselves are easy to grow and can produce a large number of beans per bush. They are of a bush type needing a long growing season and grown like dwarf french beans with a little support using twigs etc. Leave the bean pods on the plants until dry before harvesting, best grown in a hot sunny location.

Bean Dried Dalmatin

JS2556

Calypso Bean, Orca Bean or Yin Yang Bean. Aprx 50 Seeds ■●

Dwarf Bean Habit

Bean Dried Dalmatin is an heirloom Bean with a remarkable black and white colour pattern which gives them the appearance of the Yin Yang symbol of Chinese astrology; other people see it looking like the Orca Whale. They are smoothly textured with a good mild flavour and are great for baked dishes and stews and can add visual appeal to almost any recipe or salad. It is a dwarf Bush Bean to 15" high, producing compact and high yielding plants, the beans can be harvested as green beans when very young and tender like French beans, or they can be left on the plant until the pods are dry. These can then be shelled to reveal the quite fascinating beans that can be dried.

Bean Dried Pinto

JS3020

Pinto Beans. Aprx 75 Seeds ■●

Dwarf Bean Habit

Pinto beans are the most commonly used beans in Mexican food and belong to the family Phaseolus vulgaris just like all other beans and easy to grow.

They are originally from Central and South America though they are even found growing towards Mexico and continental U.S. Grow like other dwarf Beans but start off under glass early in pots before planting out in warm conditions in June.
