Contender Green Bean

48 days. Popular and widely adaptive. Big yields of thick pods that are 5-7″ long, medium green, tender and free of fiber.

Approx. 1,500 seeds per pound.
Beans supply carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. and are easy to grow, well suited for different types of soil from heavy clay to
light, sandy soils. Plant in early spring after frost danger is past and soil has warmed up to at least 60F. Direct sow at 1-1.5″ deep, 2-3″ apart in
a single row spaced 30-36″ apart or a double row spaced 8″ apart. Keep weed free. Pick pods when filled out to a nice size before pods bulge.
TIP: : Apply a stream of pure 3-18-18 liquid plant food on row when you plant seeds (Approx 1/2 gallon per 300 feet) You may also do
this when plants are growing beside the plants then till it in. A soaker hose laid along the row is a great way to water them. Make
sure your bean plants get at least 1″ of water per week. Do not over water, as bean plants drown easily. After each picking you can also give
them some more water. May God bless. You will need 1 pound of seed per 100′.
