This is my third year planting these Blue Lake Bush Beans from Mary’s Heirloom Seeds. New bed, and this year I did succession planting, exactly five weeks apart. In Zone 7B (now 8A) this year we have had drought conditions, but with proper watering the second planting caught up to the first, and we have canned over 90 pint jars of green beans and the bushes are still loaded with beans and blossoms. Unbelievable germination (30 of 31, 28 of 31). Got 1 1/2 five-gallon buckets of HUGE beautiful green beans this past week. Delicious, bountiful green beans. This one is an absolute winner!
