The 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 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.

Packaged well, delivered on time, and great quality for the cost.
Alabama here. My order, 2 Early Italian & 2 Silverwhite softneck garlic were delivered and packaged nicely. I’ve never ordered garlic before didn’t know which types to order, so, I looked at the reviews and made my decision from that. On Nov. 7 they were planted in containers after our first frost, before planting, I placed them in the fridge about 4 weeks and then waited 3 days before I could plant them, Silverwhite had a little brown discoloration probably from refrigeration. Planted 45 cloves, so far, 20 have sprouted, last counted them the day before. I Truly believe it will be a successful harvest. Excited, can’t wait till spring gets here.

Seed garlic arrived in great condition. I just got them planted, so I can’t speak about successful “germination” or harvesting, yet. But, I always have great success with anything I purchase from MIGardener. 😊
Highly recommend. Love the chicory flowers.
Great variety and shipping was fast!
