Green Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Bush beans do not need trellising and the compact plants grow to 18"-24". This haricot verts variety produces thin, French-style green beans and the kids prefer to eat them raw. We planted nasturtium flowers with our beans this past summer after reading the nasturtium flowers deter hungry and rascally rabbits. Works like a charm!
Origin: The parent seed of our haricots verts came from the garden of a neighbor of the kids’ grandparents in France. When dried, the beans are a beautiful mottled brown color. Their neighbor near the village of Le Broc, near Nice, has saved the seeds of this slender and delicious bean for generations.
