The Cherokee Trail of Tears pole bean is a historic heirloom variety, cherished for its rich cultural significance and robust flavor. This versatile bean plant has green pods that turn purple when dried with black seeds inside. Maturing in about 85 days, these pole beans are ideal for both fresh eating and drying for storage. They are named in honor of the Cherokee people, who carried them on the Trail of Tears. The plants are hardy and easy to grow, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun.
Items were as ordered. Will buy from again. Highly recommend. Fast delivery!
I had great success with these in my 2024 season. I grew 6 plants, and they were vigorous! I ate the first flush of beans fresh, and let the rest dry on the vines. I got 3lbs of dried beans! These will be a part of my garden every year. Fantastic bean.
This bean variety did best in my garden last year. I will absolutely be growing them again this year.
I'm growing in Ohio Zone 6B. Last year, I paired two pole bean varieties on a zig-zagging bamboo terrace: Cherokee and Good Mother Stallard. These varieties pair well because the pods look very different (with long-thin pods that dry to red/purple on the Cherokee and flatter pods that dry to yellow/brown for Good Mother Stallard), so it's easy to tell which bean you are harvesting. The Cherokee beans were the more productive of the two, and though the beans are smaller, there were more beans per pod (usually five to eight). These are good black beans that hold their shape during cooking better than dried black beans from the grocery store. This would be a great starter variety if you want to try growing your own dried beans.
The Japanese beetles found my other pole beans, but not these these have been continually producing since May I put them in in early March with some protection. It is November and we are still pulling fresh green beans off. Letting some dry with black beans in it for storage.

I ordered two Natchez Blackberry plugs. If I had known the quality I would have ordered more! There was great care taken into consideration when it came to shipping these live plants. They arrived fully intact with not even a broken leaf. I'm hoping to expand my berry patch with thornless berries. Im tired of the old way of leaving sweat and tears in the berry patch. I'll definitely order more if given the chance.
Trying something I heard about. Planted sweet peas in the extra space around my asparagus. So far, so good.
These San Marzano tomatoes have the most robust stems of all my tomato plants. First time tomato gardener but I have high hopes for this sauce tomato cultivar! I am already rooting a clone because it is doing so well. Can't wait for the fruit!
I took a gamble and purchased 10
blueberry plants from MIgardener this year - I am so beyond impressed with the quality.
