Bean How to plant: DIRECT SEED 2" Apart SEED DEPTH 1" GERMINATION 7-10 ROWS 36”-48" Apart NUMBER OF PLANTS 25 Skill Level-Easy Arikara Yellow: 80-90 days. Yellow –tan seeds with red-brown eye rings. Prolific plants, good drought tolerance. Great for use as a baking bean. Calypso: 70-90 days. Round black and white seeds with contrasting eye. Heavily produced on strong 15” plants. Jacob’s Cattle Gasless: 70-75 days. Reported to have half the flatulence of regular Jacob's Cattle. Excellent flavor Painted Pony: 60-80 days snap/dry. Long thin pods are stringless when young and good for snap beans. Dry beans good for soups. Very productive. Provider: 50-55 days. Most dependable early green bean. Excellent flavor, good for freezing and canning. 5”-8” bean. Golden Pencil: 50-65 days bush/wax stringless. Good for freezing or canning. 15”-20” plants Green Thumb Tip As a precaution for seed saving, it is a good idea to put ten feet between different varieties if you can. Harvesting the seed: Leave some beans on the plant for about six weeks after they ripen. If the seed rattles in the pod, the pods are brown and dry, and almost all the leaves are off the plant, the seed is ready. Pull up or cut the entire plant and hang upside down in a cool place for about two weeks. To thresh beans, put them in a plastic bag and stomp on them or beat against a hard surface. Separate the beans from the remaining pods and chaff by pouring from one container to another. The Waupaca Seed Library is a circulating collection of seeds hosted by the Waupaca Area Public Library. The seeds are available to anyone with the intention of growing and collecting new seed to be returned to the library for other patrons. The goal is to have borrowers collect seed to make available to the public for planting the following year to continue the cycle.
