Bean 'Kahnawake Mohawk'

Exclusive to Diggers through our Seed Donation program, the original seed was brought to Australia by John, an Italian Gardener, who shared this seed over a decade ago with Kel York (Diggers member and Seed Donor). A standout in our trials, this was one of the first beans to crop, bearing pods in just 8-9 weeks! Most commonly used as a dried bean because of its rich sweet beans, when young they can be enjoyed fresh from the vine. This is a rare heirloom bean cultivated by the Iroquois First Nations of Kahnawake, in Québec. We are proud to be able to share this precious heirloom with Diggers Members across Australia.
How to grow

These fast growing annuals should be direct sown or planted out after all risk of frost has passed. Pick daily for highest yields. Well drained, pH neutral to alkaline soil is ideal, as is the addition of potassium and blood and bone. Mulch around your beans thoroughly- beans are shallow rooted and are easily damaged with close cultivation. Beans can be used fresh, they also freeze well or can be left on the plant to develop large, dried seeds which can be used in soups and stews.
