Climbing French Bean Plant Fasold

Description

A variety of climbing bean that we have tried and tested here at the nursery since 2007. We continue to be impressed with its continuity of cropping performance; the plants continue to crop even if you get a little behind with eating them and the beans don't tend to get thick, seedy or inedible.The plants also seem to have a strong constitution and do not tend to suffer from any pest problems either. We highly recommend these.

We have found that Fasold crop well from late May into September.

An excellent flavoursome variety whether eaten raw or cooked. Whilst it freezes well, it is also suitable for late season drying and using as haricot beans.

• For Growing In Rows
• Plant out April - early July 4" (10 cm) apart in rows 30" (75 cm) apart.
• Provide support for these to climb up to a height of around 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres) using netting, a bamboo cane structure or similar.

• For Climbing French Bean Teepees
• Using a dustbin lid or similar as a template, drive into the ground six eight foot canes and tie together at the top to produce a conical effect.
• Plant at the foot of each cane.

• Top Tips
• These thrive in warm conditions and so are an ideal crop to grow under protection and in containers - greenhouse or polytunnel.
• Whilst they will prove drought tolerant, good watering from flowering time onwards will ensure maximum pod development.
• Mulch around the stems in early summer.
• Can be used in the 'Three Sisters Method' - where the beans grow up the sweetcorn plants, this is particularly useful if you are short of space.
