Four Pole Bean Varieties

by

  • Four pole bean varieties
  • Kentucky Wonder
  • Trionfo Violetto
  • Blue Lake
  • Blauhilde

All four pole bean varieties were harvested this week (Sep 19).

Trionfo Violetto was the earliest to mature and is very prolific. The other three varieties took 2-3 weeks longer to mature, but were all harvestable around the same time. We noticed some thin rusty blemishes on some of the surface of the Blue Lake beans (seen in the close-up picture), but it’s not clear whether the blemishes are a concern.
