AnnualThe Contender 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.
Looking forward to growing!
I have grown these before with MI Gardner seeds and they did great. Giving it a go again this year. Look forward to eating them fresh and canned again this year.
It’s winter here so I haven’t been able to plant them, of course, but I did check the seeds and they all look very healthy and fresh
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
This basil is insane!! It’s growing so fast and the leaves are as big as the palm of my hand!
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
