Best filet pole bean ever.

This year, in Casper , WY we planted 6 beans and for 4 months the two of us ate fabulous green beans two to three times a week. We also gave bags of beans to two neighbors. No strings. Just slender, tender, flavorful filet beans. The pink blooms were beautiful. Why bother with any other green bean?

Almost too good

The yield on these is amazing. I planted 10 seeds, got 100% germination, and have had such a heavy harvest I've donated every week to a fresh food pantry. They show no sign of slowing down, even in the face of an extended late-August heat wave. I like their uniformity and slightly paler than usual color. Very tender skin.

Best Producing bean

I planted Emerite beans for the first time this year. The plants have been producing beans for harvest for over three weeks and still have new beans forming on the plant. This is the best producing bean I have ever planted, and i have been trying different species for over fifty years. The flavor is excellent and the texture is crisp. One row of Emerite produced as much as two rows of Kentucky Blue beans.

Rich and flavorful beans are fiber-packed veggies that promote digestive health and are excellent sources of antioxidants that scavenge free radicals in the body. They are also nitrogen-fixing legumes; beans gather nitrogen from the air and load it into the soil to feed future crops.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding.

Culture
• Beans are shallow rooted and can require up to 1/4 inch of water a day during hot weather
• Optimum soil pH is 5.5-6.5, mildly acidic
• Apply 1 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 10 row feet, and 1 inch of compost

Direct Sowing
• One ounce of seed plants 12-15 row feet, 1/2 pound for 100 row feet
• Grow Pole, Runner, and Yard Long beans on trellises

Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Mexican bean beetles, bean weevils, cucumber beetles, spider mites
• Insect control: Pyrethrin
• Common diseases: See chart below
• Disease prevention: Avoid wetting the foliage, remove plants at the end of the year, 3-4 year crop rotation

• Ready for harvest about 2 weeks after bloom
• Pick when pods are nearly full size and seeds are still small
• Harvest every 3-5 days to increase yields
• Store at 40-45°F and 95% relative humidity
