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.

This was a wonderful bean, best harvested when small and tender. I was surprised with how many beans these small but mighty bushes produced! The rabbits loved them, too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Tavera Filet Bush Bean Seeds! We absolutely love hearing that these little bushes were such prolific producers for you - they really are small but mighty! You're so right about harvesting them when they're small and tender, that's exactly when they're at their peak flavor and texture. It sounds like you got the timing perfect! And we have to laugh about the rabbits enjoying them too - at least you know they have good taste! Thanks for sharing your wonderful growing success with us. Keep on growing 🌻️

The seeds were so easy to plant, my 1 year old granddaughter did it! And they sprouted within a few days. They’ve grown nicely despite the Texas heat and are flowering now - hope to have beans soon.
