Bean Bush (green) Blue Lake 274

The snap bean(or green bean) is eaten pod and all and is one vegetable that tastes significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the grocery store. ‘Blue Lake 274’ produces a very large crop of round, 6” pods all at once on 16”-18” tall, bushy plants that are resistant to bean common mosaic virus and NY15 mosaic; beans are stringless when picked young. Excellent flavor, one of the best for freezing. A good container variety. This packet sows up to 20 feet.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.

1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°-85°F.

Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.
