AnnualThe Fordhook 242 lima bush bean is a robust and productive heirloom variety renowned for its large, creamy-white beans and exceptional flavor. This bush-type plant grows to about 16-20 inches tall and matures in approximately 70-80 days. The beans are thick, meaty, and ideal for fresh eating, freezing, or canning. Fordhook 242 is heat-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Its resilience to disease and pests makes it a reliable choice for gardeners.

This is the most amazing and prolific pole bean I've ever grown! It produced throughout my growing season, with smaller consistent harvests each week and very large harvests at the end of July, August, and September! I felt like a garden fairy princess coming to pick these gorgeous beans that hung down from my trellis like little purple jewels that stood out beautifully from the leaves. Hope to never go another season without these in the garden :)
This is my second time ordering these seeds, they gave me great harvest last season therefore I decided to reorder them! Thank you.
This is a beautiful basil. The leaves have stunning purple veins. Pleasant smell.
AT's reputation for drought tolerance is well deserved. In a part of the garden that was not watered this summer, AT is still going strong while the other varieties have given up. Something to consider if you're looking for a variety that can handle neglect.
These things are SOOO fluffy! And they drop lots of seeds so you can have a nice reseeded sunflower patch of these big cuties, mine only grew to be about 5 ft but that was in poor condition so I can’t wait to see what these guys do in good soil!
