HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow Landreth stringless bush green bean seeds outside at least 1 week after the last frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. They should be planted in rich, well drained soil with full sun exposure. 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. Sow Landreth stringless bush green bean seeds 1" deep and 3" apart, in rows 2'-3' apart, and press down the earth above them for good soil contact. These seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-12 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant bush beans near carrots, cucumbers, or corn; 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: Expect your first 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, or from 4-8" long. 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 these Landreth stringless bush green bean seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Landreth Stringless Green Bush Bean Seeds 5.0

Great Heirloom Beans

I was excited to find the Landreth green beans, since the seed company closed after over 200 years in existence. I planted my 200 year old beans right before 3 days of rain. When I went outside to check on them, several were already 3 inches tall and on their second set of leaves. Now, 5 days later, the leader is 8 inches tall, vigorous, and on it's 3rd set of leaves. These are magic beans.

I have always grown "old-fashioned white half-runners" and save my seed year to year. However, our beans did not do well last year so I decided to try something else that might be similar as the main bean crop this year. After some research, I found the Landreths. They are not "old-fashioned white half runners", however, I find them to be a very good replacement/substitute. They do not have the greasy/tough texture I find with many new 1/2 runners and/or greasy beans or Jade beans. We have had a dry summer and I planted them primarily in areas that were newly prepared for this year. I have just begun picking but have been able to can some. The plants look very healthy and I am hopeful of many more quarts. Some pluses are the "bush" habit and "no strings" (unless the beans are large - then you have some strings).

DESCRIPTION

This is a very popular stringless green bean that is very similar to the Burpee Stringless Green Bean. It bears 5" slightly curved green beans that are thick and meaty, juicy, tender, fiberless, and tasty. This heirloom has stood the test of time and has been around since 1885. They are wonderful beans for canning.
The vegetable we now recognize as the common bean has its roots in South America; some historians as far back as the Pre-Incan civilization in Peru. When Columbus arrived in the New World, he found green beans growing with the maize of the Indians. Columbus and other European explorers introduced this new vegetable to their countries, where it eventually spread to the rest of Europe and all over the world.
