Bean 'Stringless Pioneer'
Pioneers needed to grow and preserve their own vegetables and this bean is a tribute to vegie gardeners everywhere who value high yielding produce. Sow in succession to maintain a steady supply of these stringless green beans. Suitable for preserving, they are best consumed fresh for the bush, with daily harvests also increases your yield.
Fast growing tender annuals, beans perform best in warm, sunny positions. Shallow rooted vegetables, beans require regular watering. Their ideal soil will be enriched with organic matter, be neutral to alkaline and also have some potassium applied prior to sowing. Climbing and pole beans require support, while bush beans are self-supporting. Sow seed direct when soil temperature is between 16-29 degrees C and there is no likelihood of frost. Seed should germinate within 6-15 days and seedlings should be protected from snails and slugs. Water regularly and when plants start cropping, pick daily to maximise your harvest. At the end of the season, compost plants to add nitrogen back into your soil.
