HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Tendergreen bean seeds outside at least 1 week after the last frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. Green bean seeds 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 the 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 the green bean seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Delightful beans
I've been growing Tendergreen Improved Bush Beans for years. Everwilde's seeds are excellent. They have a great germination rate, and the plants are vigorous. I did notice that Everwilde's beans tend to trail a bit more than some of those I've gotten from other sources. They still don't need support, but don't expect them to remain the same size all season.
The bushes are productive, and 30 of these plants supplies my family with enough fresh green beans to last the summer.
Note, Tendergreen Improved beans are a bit hairier than some other varieties. That makes them a bit of a challenge to clean, as dirt will sometimes stick to the pods and not rinse off easily. They are virtually stringless though, and an excellent bean for sauteeing or steaming.
Exceptional service with Priority Mail
We received more than quality seeds with priority shipment of them throught Everwilde. The product's early arrival was sought for and the company fulfilled our strong desires. We are very pleased.
Very tall plants for bush Beans
I believe every seed I planted is growing! I have many seeds left to plant next year, I hope. My biggest regret is they are so tall and they may need to have a stake to grow on. They flop over onto each other and I have a small raised bed. They are flowering and they have not produced beans. I'm certain they will soon. Just too tall for my little garden!
Excellent, Fast Service!
