The #1 for Heavy Yields!
Lima Bean Eastland
Ready a week earlier than most!
3- to 4-inch pods are uniform and semi-flat.
68 days. Not only is Eastland ready a week sooner than most of the classic Bush Limas, but it just keeps on bearing, for yields that are second to none! This is the one you want to grow for a big harvest of limas to enjoy all year long. And the flavor is terrific--fresh and succulent--from uniform, well-formed, semi-flat 3- to 4-inch pods. The plant is strong, vigorous, and upright, with great Downy Mildew resistance that makes the bounty even bigger!
Bush lima beans produce earlier than pole varieties and need no support. They need warm growing conditions, so sow the seeds direct after the soil has warmed in spring. Space plants 8 inches apart, and harvest when the pods are plump yet still fresh. Pkt is 150 seeds (2 oz.).
