HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow Dry Dark Red kidney beans seeds in rich, well-drained soil in full sun at least a week after the last expected frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. If you have never planted beans in your garden before, treat the seeds with a powder inoculant to allow the process of nitrogen fixation to begin. Plant them 1" deep and 3-6" apart, in rows about 2' apart; press down the earth above them for good soil contact. These Dry Dark Red kidney beans seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-10 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant beans near carrots or beets; avoid planting them near onions.

Growing: After germination, maintain soil moisture; beans have shallow roots, and need water at least once a week if the weather is dry. Mulching the plants helps conserve moisture and discourages weeds.

Harvesting: If frost or inclement weather threatens before your beans are fully dry, pull them and allow them to continue drying under shelter. A good method for drying is to hang them upside down from their roots until the seeds rattle in the pods and are very hard. They should be completely dry 10-15 days later. Remove the seeds from the pods by hand, or thresh them by putting them in a bag and applying a heavy weight.

Seed Saving: Thresh the beans by removing them from their pods. Store Dry Dark Red kidney beans seeds in a dry, cool place; for best germination, use them in the next growing season.

Warranty

The seeds were broken and 50% germination. I feel some compensation is in order. How about a fresh 1/4 pound of seeds dark red kidney.

We will reship! I imagine that the seeds were broken going through shipping somehow so we will make sure to send this out in a bubble mailer.

DESCRIPTION

Red kidney beans hail from Mexico and Central America, where they filled critical nutritional needs in the diet of the native peoples.
