Before you know it, you've harvested up to 20 gourmet \"sweet stem\" broccoli shoots, and Artwork is the last broccoli in the garden still producing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe secret to getting the most out of Artwork is to get rid of that central crown quickly. Cut it for eating when it's just an inch or so in diameter, or pinch it away even sooner if you don't need to harvest it. As soon as you do, the side-shoots begin to take off. Expect the first ones to be ready for harvest about 10 days after you've removed the central crown. Cut them promptly, and get ready to watch their replacements appear.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMany broccoli are better suited to crowning than to side shoot production because they tend to bolt (begin flowering) in hot weather—and hot weather is exactly what most of us have all summer long in the garden. Artwork, on the other hand, is very bolt-resistant, keeping its tight beads even when the temperature climbs. This gives you many more weeks of production . . . and means that new side-shoots can arise even in late summer, when other sweet stem broccoli varieties are done.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eArtwork reaches about 8 inches wide and can top out at close to 2 feet, depending on how tall you let it grow.

A prized British heirloom from the 1800s, 'Black Knight' was originally grown by Edmund Knight, Bishop of Shrewsbury. This handsome climbing vine is valued not only for bean production but also for ornamental purposes and can fit beautifully into an edible landscape. Selected from Scarlet Runner, 'Black Knight' sets loose clusters of scarlet-red pea-like buds along its vines that open into showy flowers. Masses of smooth, attractive solid black pods follow the flowers. Completely stringless and delicious when young, the pods are edible, if cooked, but should be picked early, before the seeds (beans) swell appreciably in the pods. Each pod contains 6 to 10 bright pink beans, which turn brown as they dry. The beans can be eaten fresh or dried. The flowers are also edible, having a bean-like flavor, and can be used in salads or as garnish. They are highly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bumble bees. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eTypically grown as an annual, 'Black Knight', an herbaceous short-lived perennial (Zones 7-11), is a member of the legume family (Leguminosae or Fabaceae). 'Black Knight' is a vigorous, robust indeterminate variety, growing vertically as a graceful flowering vine that requires support, such as our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkseed.com\/products\/pole-bean-growing-tower-06885\"\u003e bean growing tower\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkseed.com\/products\/bean-ring-set-96565\"\u003enatural bamboo ring set\u003c\/a\u003e. Although the vine may be allowed to trail along the ground, growing it vertically creates height and dimension in the garden and uses space efficiently, making it a great option for small gardens.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRunner beans are typically the most productive of all the beans, with each plant producing about 2 pounds of beans, in ideal conditions. For the best yields, pick pods promptly, which encourages the plants to set more. Fewer pods will be set in hot temperatures (around or above 90°F), but flowering is usually abundant in hot summer climates. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and adaptable, 'Black Knight' prefers a sunny location with fertile, organically rich, moist, well-draining loam, having a pH of 5.5 to 7.0. Water the plants liberally during flowering and fruiting, but do not fertilize heavily, unless lush foliage is preferred over flower and bean production.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNitrogen-fixing plants, beans naturally improve the soil in which they are planted by taking nitrogen from the air and converting it into a usable form in the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e Open pollinated, this heirloom plant produces seed that will grow true to variety; however, runner beans readily cross-pollinate, so heirloom varieties should be isolated if true seed is desired. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, runner bean seeds can be direct sown into warm spring soil (at least 50°F) after the last frost date. For an earlier harvest, seeds can be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date in spring and transplanted after all threat of frost has passed.

This will encourage the side shoots to leaf out, and keep the plant from blooming too quickly. Even if you are growing Cardinal as an ornamental, you'll want a bushier, more full plant. And if you grow it for culinary use, you want to keep pinching off those flower buds as soon as you see them, because once this basil blooms, it is no longer as tasty. (Our recommendation is to grow some of both: ornamental and culinary.)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike all basil, Cardinal appreciates full sunshine and moist, well-drained, enriched soil.
