Hi All,

Are green beans very difficult to grow? (Keep in
mind my black thumb.)


er, well, some can be and others aren't as much but
it is going to depend upon your climate and soil.

here i have certain varieties that have done well
over the years and others that struggle (planted right
next to each other in the same soil so they are
treated the same in terms of climate and watering).

the hard part there is going to be how to get 50-60
days before it gets really hot out as i think then the
plants may have a hard time setting pods and keeping
them - but perhaps this variety will hold up longer.
dunno until you try.


Found these with a 50 day maturity:

No strings either.


wish they had pictures of the seeds.

Oh, are the sprouts large or tiny. My earwigs eat
the tiny ones but leave zucchini sprout alone
