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.

Very happy with my purchase. I planted 40 seeds and they all germinated! Felt like I ran the lottery. Haven’t had a harvest yet but they are growing well. Already knee high. Very happy with my purchase
This is my second year ordering the bare root strawberry plants, and I will say these are the healthiest plant starts!! I will order again
I loved my Chandler Blueberries. I have had it for a year now. As a beginner blueberry grower, I loved how easily it is to maintain the plant in its healthy state. I live in Zone 7. It lived through its first winter snow, and sprouted back up in Spring, just shows how cold-hardy it can be. It is now slowly blooming. Hopefully in the next few years it will produce me some juicy blueberries!
Not so great raw, but awesome sautéed and in soups! Grows great in warm climate. It takes a while to get started, but once it takes off, it doesn't stop! Very easy for new gardeners ❣️
Once the bare root arrived, I immediately saw a sprout growing from the tip. I was pleasantly surprised it had gone out of dormancy. It is currently growing healthy green foliage outside in part shade and full sun. I see a few grape clusters though unfortunately I have to cut them, so the plant’s roots fully establish.
