75 days. This vigorous, 7 foot tall variety made Oregon's Willamette Valley famous in the 60s and 70s for canning beans. The smooth, 6-7 inch, dark green pods have a canning jar straight, round shape. Harvested at their peak, you'll find them tender, meaty, and full of hearty, fresh bean flavor

Contains 25 heirloom seeds

Planting Instructions: Soak beans 2-3 hours before planting. (optional)

Seeds should be sown in warm conditions, covered very lightly (depth of ½ inch) and kept reasonably moist until seedlings emerge.

Every seed germinated and grew fast! Produced a lot! Tasted great!

Flat stringy pods

I purchashed these seeds last year. Grew my first batch in Fall/2023 in South East Florida. I was very happy with with the amount of beans the plants produced and we liked them a lot. I saved some seeds from that first harvest and went ahead and bought more. Planted them again in Jan-March, production again was great but this time the beans were inconsistent . Some of them were nice and round but the majority were flat and stringy. At first I thought it was the plants from the seeds I had saved, so I tried the ones I had purchased, same results. Then I thought I might have waited too long to pick them so , I made it a point to pick them as early as they looked edible, same results. It is unfortunate because the plants grow well and produce a lot but I don’t like flag stringy beans.

Delicious and grew well in East Texas. Next year I hope to use Cattle panel arches instead of my utility fence & deer netting garden protection. These grew way higher than I anticipated 😂

Bushels of beans

We live in southwest Florida and started our Blue Lake pole beans in October. We grow them in a raised bed with a trellis and water them once a week, sometimes less. They are mostly in the sun except for the mid-late afternoon. I did cover them with a bed sheet when we had a few "cold snaps" (i.e., 35-40 degrees) just to be safe. We have been getting enough yield to serve as a side dish for 5-person household about once every other week off 7 plants. The beans are delicious and crunchy off the vine or slow cooked in chicken stock and onions. Suggest picking them before they get too big and insides get stringy.

BLUE LAKE POLE BEANS (BLPB)

Ordered 2 packs of BLPB and wasn't sure what to expect the first time from ordering from Mary's. Boy oh, boy did they grow and produce bushels and bushels of beans. My husband and I canned over 60 quarts of beans. We stopped picking the beans and left to dry on the vines so we can grow more next season.
Thank you for having such awesome products. Already planning next year's garden and looking to see what you have available 😀
