AnnualGood Mother Stallard pole bean is a cherished heirloom variety renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and striking appearance. The beans are mottled with beautiful maroon and white patterns. These vigorous climbing plants reach maturity in about 85-95 days, producing high yields of tender, flavorful beans. Ideal for soups, stews, and salads, Good Mother Stallard beans maintain their shape and texture well during cooking.
Pretty colors
Beautiful beans arrived early- plan to plant in spring
Ordered more packets for summer!
Everything arrived in great condition, and I can't wait to plant them.
I'm growing in Ohio Zone 6B. Last year, I paired two pole bean varieties on a zig-zagging bamboo terrace: Cherokee and Good Mother Stallard. These varieties pair well because the pods look very different (with long-thin pods that dry to red/purple on the Cherokee and flatter pods that dry to yellow/brown for Good Mother Stallard), so it's easy to tell which bean you are harvesting. The Good Mother Stallard beans were the later of the two to begin producing pods, with larger beans but fewer per pod (usually three to five). The dried beans are gorgeous, mottled burgundy and white, and they hold their shape well during cooking. They are also quite tasty!
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
Nice I like it. Its perfect
