Abundant, Stringless, Crisp Snaps!
Bean Slenderette
Erect plants hold the crop off the ground, preventing damage from soil contact!
5-inch pods are dark green and beautifully formed!
53 days. A terrific combination of bounty, beauty, and big taste! Slender, dark green 5-inch pods are stringless and crisp, for superb texture as well as flavor. Plants produce very heavily, holding the crop off the ground to prevent damage from contact with the soil. These table-quality, white-seeded beans are versatile as well -- they're great to eat fresh, but also can and freeze superbly. A good all-around bean for the home garden, Slenderette will please you with performance, appearance, and -- most of all -- taste!
Easy and trouble-free, even for the new gardener, this snap bean is widely adapted across the U.S., and is compact in the garden. For best harvest, succession-plant every 3 weeks or so from early spring till late summer (avoiding the worst summer heat in warm areas).
Hardier than pole beans, bush snaps can be direct-sown after all danger of frost. Pkt is 2 ounces (about 100 seeds).
