HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Plant Blue Lake pole bean seeds after the last frost, since these stringless pole beans are very sensitive to cold. Place the seeds 2" deep and 10" apart, allowing them to grow on a trellis or other vertical support as soon as they emerge from the soil. If using a teepee structure, plant them in groups of 5-6 plants per pole. Germination usually takes place in 14-20 days. For companion planting benefits, plant pole beans with corn; this provides natural support for both the vines and the corn stalks.

Growing: Keep the soil moist to ensure healthy plants and a productive crop, taking care not to disturb the blossoms as they form. Mulch helps conserve moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Harvesting: Expect your first stringless pole beans about ten weeks after germination. Daily harvesting improves production; for best flavor and tenderness, pick the beans when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness. Serve or preserve the same day you harvested them for the freshest taste.

Seed Saving: Near the end of the growing season, allow the beans to dry completely on the vine; the pods will be light brown, and the seeds will rattle inside. Remove the seeds from the pods. After the Blue Lake pole bean seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Best Pole Beans

The Blue Lake Pole Beans are a dependable vigorous growing strain, which continues to produce beans all summer long. The beans are about 6" long and stringless. The are great for eating fresh, as well as good for canning freezing. The plants grow up to 8' high, so need a good trellis.

Need to look often for in stock as these sell out fast

I have been buying alot of seed from EverWildFarms, have had great plants, I buy extra & plant extra as weather/seasons can always help/hurt so plant early, on-time & late just in-case, you can harvest early/late if needed or on time or all three sometimes. I have not had any issues with seed variations from Everwild, These beans produce late into season if you replant about the time your first set has starter to pod up or first picking, I just re-plant near my poles and if need be guide the new plant to the taller poles with some short pieces of bamboo leaned on the other poles. We were still picking pole beans Dec. 6th 2020. and were still tender string-less pods, and plants still had flowers and tiny pods coming when the heavier frost we had stopped them this year, Central Alabama, I had some seed to plant 2020 spring with , all seed sellers were out of stock in spring so I watched to see when back in-stock and bought in Dec this time so be warned if you want this strain bean.

Good beans could be better

We planted 20 seeds in fresh tilled soil along our garden fence line. Only 20 of the 30 seeds germinated and sprouted plants. The 20 are now growing well, but a 2/3 ratio of germination is not a success IMO.

added to supply

I ordered this item for next season to have the supply on hand as it's quite difficult to find good seeds here in the springtime. I store in a refrigerated environment until I soak and plant, they appear to be in great shape and are whole seeds, so I'm sure that they will produce just fine.

DESCRIPTION

A favorite of early Oregon farmers, this vigorous vine sets bean pods from the base to the top of its six-foot height. It produces a heavy crop of tender, crisp, and stringless pods that remain tender even at full maturity. It is ideal for table use, canning, and freezing.
The Blue Lake stringless pole bean gets its name from the lake district of Ukiah, California. The original Blue Lake bean came from the upper Missouri River basin, where it was found growing wild in the gardens of Native Americans.

HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Plant Blue Lake pole bean seeds after the last frost, since these stringless pole beans are very sensitive to cold. Place the seeds 2" deep and 10" apart, allowing them to grow on a trellis or other vertical support as soon as they emerge from the soil. If using a teepee structure, plant them in groups of 5-6 plants per pole. Germination usually takes place in 14-20 days. For companion planting benefits, plant pole beans with corn; this provides natural support for both the vines and the corn stalks.

Growing: Keep the soil moist to ensure healthy plants and a productive crop, taking care not to disturb the blossoms as they form. Mulch helps conserve moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
