Growing Info
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

These have been my favorite beans to grow this year! Every seed germinated, which blew my mind! But I think the best part about these beans is how easy they are to find when you’re harvesting them! Just move your leaves around and BAM! there’s a purple beauty ready to go! Definitely don’t have the same yield as the provider, but such a fun addition to the garden. I keep telling my friends with kids that they should grow this variety and see if the little magic of going from purple to green when cooked would encourage their kids to eat their veggies!

The Royal Burgundy bush beans have grown prolifically with excellent germination and quickly became beautiful producing plants with no issues at all. This is just the first few pu led but many more are developing. Highly recommend. In top three of six varieties tried - Jade, Royal Burgundy and Golden Rush shown in photo.

Almost 100% germination and they seem to love this fall weather. Planted 4 weeks ago and they are over a foot tall and blooming. I have other beans in the bed that seem to be more susceptible, these are healthy and thriving.

These beans sprouted really fast, but they started getting burned (zone 10a). I’m adding some shade cloth to see if they survive the heat here.
