Bean, Lazy Housewife Pole Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Introduced in Germany in 1810, this is the first stringless snap bean, thus the whimsical name. Original seed for this variety given to us by a Surrey pioneer family member. Good as a fresh snap bean, and unsurpassed as a dry or shell bean.
To grow: Sow mid-May to mid-June, 2-3" apart in well-drained, warm soil in full sun. Plant at 3 week intervals for a long harvest. Provide a 6-8 foot support or trellis. Pick regularly as pods ripen to increase yield. (80 days)
