Bush Beans
( Phaseolus vulgaris )
Plant Detail
Features
No garden is complete without some green beans and the bush beans are one of the easiest and most reliable vegetables to grow. Unlike pole beans, they do not require support. The plant forms a small, shrub-like mound of foliage. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more beans through the season. Pick the pods just when the beans start to develop. New plants can also be added to the garden mid-season if more beans are desired.
Uses
Superb for eating alone with light seasoning or diced and added to a variety of dishes. Delicious when lightly steamed or boiled. Preserve by canning, drying, or freezing. Wash fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly before eating.
