The Rio Zape pole bean is an heirloom variety treasured for its unique, rich flavor and beautiful appearance. The beans are medium-sized with a striking deep maroon color, often speckled with black markings. Known for their creamy texture and slightly sweet, earthy taste, Rio Zape beans are perfect for soups, stews, and refried beans. The sturdy bush plants are highly productive, maturing in about 90 days.
I have had great success with all of my bean purchases from M I Gardener. They are my favorite place to shop for seeds!
These beans earned more space. Fantastic production with very little maintenance. Zone 6b
These took a LONG time to mature but were worth the wait! They took over everything growing around them but I'm not complaining. I will be growing twice as much as last yr because they were so delicious and pretty too. Grown in N. MS zone 8a
These grew beautifully for me in Michigan, zone 5A. They made THE BEST refried beans my family has ever had. We look forward to growing much more next year.
I ordered these a little late in the season, but whimsically sowed about a dozen anyway, hoping for a late frost. I got lucky! These beans are absolutely gorgeous, and I was able to harvest about a cup of shelled beans per 8-10 plants. I saved most of my seed packages for next season, but am not worried about germination rates--they keep for quite a while if stored properly (dry, cool, etc...).
Also, this is a bush bean. The website may say pole, but the packaging and my experience say they are definitely a bush--roughly 2' high, and I didn't even give them the chance they deserve by planting them on time. These are seriously great, give them a try!

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
