100 days to dry bean harvest Phaseolus coccinus

HEIRLOOM Exquisite and unusual, we first fell in love with this Organic Chocolate Runner Pole Bean as a handsome handful of gorgeous, glossy seeds. Her tall, vigorous vines have huge heart-shaped leaves and when they bloom we again swoon: each flower is both scarlet and rose, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to their cascades of blooms. The small snap beans (4 inches or less) are tender and sweet but quickly turn fibrous as they swell to 8+ inch pods full of beautiful dry beans.

What do we do with our dry beans? We eat some, we make splendid necklaces with little friends and we save plenty to give to friends and replant ourselves for next season.

    These taste amazing! They look amazing! The red flowers are gorgeous and the beans are fuzzy and sticky and lovely. Cook them for 4 minutes in salted, boiling water. Add a little salt and they will be the best thing you’ve had in your mouth all day.
