AnnualThe Contender 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 have grown these before with MI Gardner seeds and they did great. Giving it a go again this year. Look forward to eating them fresh and canned again this year.
It’s winter here so I haven’t been able to plant them, of course, but I did check the seeds and they all look very healthy and fresh
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.

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!
We absolutely love this game! Growing Season is fun to play, and easy enough to where even our 5 year old enjoys playing with us. Thank you for creating something that keeps us excited for for gardening season even in the middle of the snowy winter!
This game is so much fun, it's so unique, and it definitely keeps with the cabin fever in winter when we'd rather be out in the garden. Also the quality of it is better than any card or board game I've ever bought. Highly recommend!
Bought these seeds for Christmas and could not wait for spring to start them. They have been growing in my hydroponics now for about a month and with the cut and come again method I've been harvesting for about 2 weeks. The seeds have great germination. Kids and chickens are enjoying them.
I'm not just saying this because I am from the great state of New York, but the New Yorker tomato from MI Gardener is stupendous....It almost over-performed last summer (is that even possible?) I can't wait to get started with them again this year.!!
I used revive Rex last year with excellent outcomes. I wanted you to make sure I have it on had for this gardening season.
