Beautiful Bush Bean
Phaseolus Vulgaris
A beautiful bean with scarlet and white in a yin/yang pattern. Considered a low gas bush bean, yet I found this plant needs staking.
Culture: Plant seeds in mid-May in rows 4 inches apart, 1 inch deep, 2 feet between rows, as beans need good ventilation to prevent from fungal issues like powdery mildew.
Seed saving: For dry beans allow pods to dry on the vine until pressing the beans with your fingernail leaves no indentation. If heavy rains threaten just before maturity, pull plants by the roots and hang them in a dry place to finish or pick pods, shell and finish drying indoors. Otherwise leave on vine until pods are crispy, dry and about to open on their own. Then cut at the root and leave in a dry place on a sheet until completely dry and popping open, then you can then stomp on the pods and winnow the beans from the chaff.
