Bean Pole - Snap - Romano
The Bean Pole Snap Romano, 'Phaseolus vulgaris', produces over a long period of time, and this Italian green bean is considered one of the best tasting beans available. The snap bean, or green bean, is eaten pod and all. The Romano has an unsurpassed beany/nutty flavor. In addition, the pole snap beans will use less garden space by growing vertically on a pole, trellis, or teepee made of poles. Snap beans used to be called string beans, but most varieties today are stringless. The Pole Bean Windsor is an annual and is very frost sensitive. Pole types have 3 to 7 foot long vines. The Windsor has 4 inch, meaty, thick, wide, medium green stringless pods. Plant after the last average frost date. Pole beans, in very warm climates, can be planted in late August for fall harvest. Windsor beans prefer rich, organic, well drained, warm soils. ... more information
Mizuna Mustard The Mustard Mizuna Siu Cai, Xiu Cai, 'Brassica rapa', is the perfect mustard green with its mild, sweet, earthy, mustardy flavor that tolerates cold and heat. Commonly used as a graceful bedding plant that "floats" in the flower beds and as a sweet, mild mustard green that is ready to harvest in 3 weeks. Mizuna looks are deceptive; it is a beautiful graceful prolific branching plant that will also germinate under cold and wet spring conditions. Plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Successive plantings every 3 weeks will provide for continuous harvest. Mizuna prefers light, moist, loamy soils with lots of organic matter. You can harvest a few leaves from each plant anytime after germination. |
