70-80 days to harvest Phaseolus vulgaris

Delectable diversity! A feast for our eyes as well as bellies, Coming Dawn is delicious as they look. Scrumptious abundance cascades tender, stringless beans of deep burgundy and shimmering plum as well as emerald green, brilliant yellow and purple-striped beauties, each pod curling ever so slightly at the bottom, so darling! The flowers are as diverse as the pods, blooming violet and cream, much to the delight of your resident hummingbirds. We appreciate each juicy-crisp pod, though there’s a sweetness and lusciously velvet crunch to the violet beans, with their yellow-wax centers, that is unlike any other bean we’ve ever tasted. Once you know, you know.

We are grateful for Cornell University sharing with us such scrumptious beans (Banafsaji, Wardeh, Asfar, and Namir to be exact!) and are humbled to remember and uplift untold generations of brilliant indigenous humxns co-adapting with beans across time immemorial here on Turtle Island, as well. We ‘save’ these seeds to share with you and we hope you will, too! As well as (y)our great-great-great grandchildren.

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.

    They germinated really well, and are growing really well. And they taste great! I planted the entire packet, but unfortunately they’re all pale yellow. Maybe a couple with a hint of green. No purples. :/

    Abundant, beautiful colors, crunchy and delicious.

    I loved the different shapes. The yellow tended to be long and slender. The purple were mostly J shaped. The speckled are more flattened oval than round. September’s cool nights (zone 6) have made the yellow and purple grow as spirals:-)

    Please always carry these! My absolute Favorite pole beans this Spring to Summer in our Zone 9, Chassahowitzka, Florida (steamy, hot, disease & nematode infested) garden.

    I’ve never seen such a beautiful, elegant shade of silky fuchsia-y-magenta in a pole bean! What glamorous garden ornaments, flashing in the sun, dangling like earings from the emerald leaved vining “sisters” dancing round their tall, strong, goldenrod centurions, together supporting the rising stalks of their corn mother at the center of their world.

    Fruition’s Pink-tip Greasy, earlier and more productive than any of her Coming Dawn “siblings,” makes the rounds, like a good hostess, branching horizontally now and again, mingling down the line through light and shadows, showing off her perfect sets of twin babies, no sister more prolific than she!

    Our Fruition bean varieties this year are so far the healthiest from the start; great germination, no noticiable seed-borne pathogens at this point, and the most pest and foliar pathogen resistant so far.

    All have been producing for us for about a week or so (today is June 9), and feeding us nightly, so we’re delighted!

    Our rainy season starts this week though….so….fingers crossed….rain and heat are tough on beans…..but we’ll enjoy them while we can :).

    Thank you Fruition for sharing your wonderful new bean finds with us! WE LOVE THEM!
