Spanish Musica pole beans...
Thanks to Wardeh from Gnowfglins, a couple of years ago I started growing Spanish Musica pole beans. I love these beans! They are extremely productive. I have just 4 bean towers devoted to them, and today, at the first picking, I have enough beans to can about 25 quarts. Amazing! They never get stringy, no matter how big they are. They taste so nice and will continue to produce for a long time yet. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of sharing this year. They can also be used as a shell-out bean, and I save my own seed now, as this is an heirloom variety. Here are a few picture so you can see what they are like in my garden.
They look. So nice. I planted scarlet runner pole beans for the first time this year. Got the seeds from a lady. They have blossoms but still not seeing any beans waiting to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the scarlet runners because the blossoms are so pretty! Don't worry. Beans are self-pollinating. They don't have to wait for the bees.
DeleteI'm going to have to grow these next year! I want to build a "been house" to grow them on.... :)
ReplyDeleteThat will fun and shady! And you can go in there to pick most of the beans. :)
DeleteThose are awesome! I'll be avoiding your house this summer, so that I won't get pulled into snapping beans. Unless, of course, you want to make me some pudding popsicles.
ReplyDeleteYou're safe this year. I'm done canning beans. But I would be happy to make the pudding popsicles.
DeleteThey look wonderful! Where did you originally get the seeds?
ReplyDeleteI was excited to get a good crop of my green beans this year. We are having them tonight in a one pot meal that includes potatoes from my garden and ham along with cornbread. Yum!
I'll be right over... ;) If you click on the name of the beans at the beginning of this post, it will take you to where I bought them.
