HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow Kentucky Wonder bush 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 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 Kentucky Wonder bush bean seeds 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 seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

DESCRIPTION

This cousin of Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean has the same great taste, but has the picking advantage of a bush bean! Kentucky Wonder bush bean seeds mature in just 50 days - a week earlier than most bush beans. The 16" plant is hardier than a pole bean, and doesn't need staking. The 8" meaty pods are crisp, and packed with delicious seeds.
First appearing in 1864, this variety of bean had the name "Old Homestead." Several years later, seed specialist James H. Gregory retitled it "Kentucky Wonder" and stated, "This we regard as far ahead of any other green Pole Bean." Before long, seed companies far and wide praised the Kentucky Wonder bush bean seed as an excellent, unsurpassed variety because of the tenderness of the bean even at large sizes. At one time it was the most popularly cultivated bean in America.
