| 60 days. Far and away the heaviest-yielding and most delicious yellow bush bean in our trial gardens, Soleil is a tireless worker that will produce armloads of slender, succulent beans with a superb flavor and no aftertaste. The upright plant is compact and well-proportioned, saving you space in the garden and making harvest a breeze. You can't go wrong with this vigorous bean! The 4-inch pods are thin, very straight (good for canning!), and petite. They arise all at once in HUGE numbers on the compact (2-foot-tall, 1-foot-wide) plant, so you can harvest in one fell swoop or several large loads, rather than plucking a handful each day. If you pickle or can your beans, Soleil was made for you! However, that's not to say it isn't a great bean for eating fresh, too. In fact, I defy you to put up ALL the beans in your harvest -- they're just too yummy not to reserve a big potful for right away! Ready in early to midsummer, just about 2 months after sowing, Soleil is a bean that looks as good as it tastes, grows like a charm, and bears huge yields. Try it this season and I predict it will take the place of honor in your vegetable garden next year! Pkt is 200 seeds. |
