AnnualContender bush bean is a popular and productive heirloom variety known for its early maturity and resilience in various climates. These bush beans produce high yields of 6-8 inch, stringless, tender pods that are perfect for fresh eating, canning, and freezing. Contender bush beans are resistant to common bean diseases, making them a reliable choice for home gardeners. A great variety to choose for both early season cool temperatures and can withstand the heat in the summer.
I ordered both contender beans and jade beans. I planted all 25 seeds from each packet. One of the packets has 13 plants and the other has 9. I grow in nursery pots (10 gallon) and use potting mix from the Arizona Worm Farm. I may have planted the seeds too shallow.
Received seeds in a timely manner
Your Contender Bean seed packets were the only Contender variety that I could find this season. Not sure why they are now so scarce,, and so was glad to see you carried them. Thank you!
I haven't planted them yet. Still too cold here in upstate NY. All the seeds I've gotten from you have done well so I expect these will too.
Great germination. Production was good. Great harvest. Grew beans in my Greenstalk.

All of the potatoes are growing beautifully! I am please with the purchasez
Thank you for fulfilling our order for red raspberry plants. I ordered 20 plants, 7 for my daughter in law’s birthday present and 13 for our new red raspberry bed. Twelve of the 13 we planted have thrown out shoots and leaves. We are patiently waiting on the 13th. Red raspberries are one of our favorite fruits and are used to make our favorite jam. We look forward to picking our own harvest.
I have had great success with all my purchases from MIGardner. The potatoes arrived timely and had plenty of eyes. I only lost one cutting to rot while skinning and the rest successfully sprouted. Very happy, the rest is up to me!
We purchased four kits and made the 3x8 variety. The process was swift and easy to perform. It can be done by one person. Our beds are filled with soil and ready for the 2025 planting season!
This spinach is awesome. I winter sowed it in Feb 2025 in some gallon jugs and deep lettuce containers. It came up great. Transplanted to a raised bed in April Although the leaves are huge, they are super tasty. So far, I am loving your seeds. Would buy again!!!
