Blue Lake Bush Bean is a popular heirloom variety renowned for its exceptional flavor and crisp texture. This compact, bush-type plant reaches maturity in about 55-60 days, producing an abundant harvest of slender, dark green pods approximately 6 inches long. The beans are stringless and tender, making them ideal for fresh eating, canning, and freezing. They are also resistant to common bean diseases, ensuring a reliable and productive crop. Many like the bush version due to its compact size and low growth habit.
We got this green bean from MIgardener in a variety pack. They were all wonderful but the Blue Lake was the overall winner with my family members. Classic, delicious and grew very well! I planted it after I'd harvested all the tomatoes I could freeze. They gave us wonderful green beans till the first frost! So eager to grow them again!
This was my favorite bean out of the three I planted. It had a slight floral flavor compared to Royal Burgundy and Top Notch Golden. (The Royals were definitely winners in looks - wow!) Worked well in my Greenstalk planter, too.
You want great seeds then please go to MI Gardener. Luke and his crew are the best. Free shipping over 20 dollars except garlic, I am trying to save for garlic now but got hit by Murphy's law and not sure I can do it now this year, Please support this business and know your getting the best.
I planted ten packets of these beans. I started some indoors, under lights, but most were sewed directly into the ground around June 1 here in central Michigan. They geminated well and the indoor ones started producing by mid-June. The other ones produced well in July and August. The beans were great and the quantitate produced was large. I picked at least 10 gallons of beans and as of this writing, they are still producing (Aug. 30). Highly recommend.
These beans have performed excellent. 100% germination. I planted these late spring in Southern California, which in other climates is mid-summer. They have done great, even when the temps hit 80-95 degrees. I planted 6 per square foot, and they have thrived. I had heard great things about this variety and I’m glad I gave it a try.
