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.

I've been growing Ivan and music specifically for a couple years now. Always have great results and love seeing the seasons tied together in the garden. Gives me something to look at through the snow.
Got a grab bag cause the price was great but also thought it would be a great idea to get to try things I’d never personally choose on my own and I’d say this bag achieved that really well too!
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.
