Lazy Housewife Bean

Phaseolus vulgaris

faz-EE-oh-lus vul-GAIR-iss

Edibles: Fruiting Vegetable

Plants bear green, entirely stringless pods of exceedingly fine, buttery flavor when cooked. When dried, the beans are perfectly round and white, like little pearls, with a heavier, richer, creamy taste. For longer cropping periods, greater yields, and easier harvesting, use a pole or trellis system. Pick them young for snap beans (80 days), or let them dry for shelling beans.
