Organic Bean Provider
Even if spring arrives late this year, you have time to grow a big crop of Provider!
This bush-habit plant sets masses of rounded, plump 5 1/2-inch pods stuffed with tender white seeds. Quick to mature, it is well-rooted and vigorous, one of the easiest and most successful beans you will ever grow. Great for beginning gardeners, including children.
Resistant to several common bean viruses, this plant also stands up to downy mildew, so even gardeners in hot, humid, or rainy climates can grow Provider successfully. Get your canning jars ready for huge yields with this superior variety!
For best harvest, succession-plant every 3 weeks or so from early spring until 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. When the harvest is complete, plow or till the plants back into the soil; they are excellent soil-builders! Pkt is 100 seeds.
