| 43 days. We are delighted to be able to offer this customer favorite--previously known as Early Riser--to you again! Tender, succulent Italian flavor is the hallmark of Kwintus, the best European pole bean we have ever grown! 10 to 20 days earlier than most others, Kwintus is dangling on the vine, its slightly flattened, bulging, stringless 8- to 10-inch pods ready for picking. It's terrific in pasta dishes and tomato sauces -- if you can resist eating it straight from the vine, that is! Many gardeners prefer pole beans for their distinctive "beany" flavor. Because they use vertical space in the garden, they free up the vegetable garden for other varieties while bearing abundant harvests. They're easier than bush beans to harvest as well. Support the 5- to 8-foot vines on a trellis, tower, or poles spaced 3 feet apart. Pkt is 2 ounces (about 100 seeds), which sows a 25-foot row. |
