Product Description
Fresh wax beans steamed with a touch of butter ? so delicious! Great for small areas in the garden and even growing in patio containers. Toss in salads, freeze, or can for a taste of summer sunshine in the winter. Pencil Pod is an heirloom variety that has been popular with gardeners since it was introduced in 1900. The ?slim as a pencil?, curved yellow pods are 6? long, stringless, tender, and very easy to grow. Unlike green beans, these black-seeded yellow wax snap beans are easy to see among the foliage to pick quickly for dinner. Excellent cooked or eaten right out of the garden. Grow in the ground or in containers. Very disease resistant. When to plant outside: RECOMMENDED. Spring, after average last frost. If weather is still cool and wet, wait until it warms up and dries out. Note: in very hot summer areas such as south and southwest, plant in March for June harvest and again in August for late September harvest. When to start inside: Sow directly outside.
