AnnualJacob's Cattle bean, also known as Trout or Appaloosa bean, is a striking heirloom variety with a distinctive maroon and white mottled pattern. This bush bean matures in about 90-100 days and is prized for its hearty, rich flavor and creamy texture. Ideal for soups, stews, and baked beans, it retains its shape well during cooking. Jacob's Cattle beans thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, with plants reaching about 18-24 inches in height. These beans are not only delicious but also nutritious, high in protein, fiber, and essential minerals, making them a valuable addition to any garden.
This is one of my most favorite beans to cook with. So versatile, and relatively easy to grow! Can't wait to get started!
I bought them for next year. Always happy with the seeds from migardener!
I've never grown these before so excited to try them next season.
Bought some more beans for my garden. These are great beans for direct sowing.
This bean variety was very prolific. I love to grow different dry bean varieties for mixed bean soups. This for sure was a tasty one and it holds up well to long cooking. Of course it's also very beautiful.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
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!
