If you see "Provider" green beans, grab 'em. It's a fantastic type of low bush green bean, very prolific, tender, tasty. The Mennonites around here grow them. I won't plant an other type. They are fantastic.
Quoting: Windsage [ link to www.reneesgarden.com (secure)] I have seen the seed at local stores but I am in a heavily homesteaded area. You may have to order from a catalog. I plant around 20 plants and they deliver all season long with enough to share. I have never frozen my green beans but I think they freeze pretty well if you blanch them first (steam for 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water.) Dry then bag and freeze. I was actually in a store today getting a few heirloom seeds and looked at the green beans - couldn't remember the name you had given us but I knew I would recognize the name if I saw it. No luck. Will have to order. Do you can them instead of freezing? Just looked at the link you provided and they are, indeed, heirloom! Wonderful! Edit to add: Amazing! Just discovered that scarlet runner beans are also heirloom and nonGMO!!! This really blesses me! Now I can be happier about planting and using and giving them away. Do you think they would grow adequately in a container, like a gallon or two gallon pot? I coudln't find any Scarlet Runner Bean seeds in this store or the one last week, so will have to order. Need to make a choice here. LOL I'd like heirloom seeds, definitely, but also would like the scarlet runner beans planted in my hanging baskets, for fun. Speaking of PROLIFIC. My Father planted Cucuzza Italian squash seeds. [ link to www.gardeningknowhow.com (secure)] It was like Jack and the Beanstalk. They grew all over the garden. The vines went 30 feet up trees. I measured a vine and it grew 4 feet in a DAY. Pop was taking a wheel barrow load out daily to give away. He only planted four seeds. My Mother cooked up the green squash and made soups and caseroles which she froze. We ate it for months. In a SFTF, you could slice it thin and dry it for later. Easy calories.
