I have a package of these and after our pole bean discussion on the past day or so, I dug the package out to read it over. So Pole Bean, 4" spacing... Waiting for the weather warm up (Wednesday should be the turning point according to Weather channel)... But what about days to maturity?? White flowers I'm assuming? Another other attributes other than Real Good Eating??  |

I have in my notes from last year 68 days first beans from planting seed. So I would say 60-75 days depending on weather, They have white blooms, beans are about 4in long, pick when pods are full ie beans inside are plump but before pods begin to turn. These beans have a very thin shell tender some strings and excellent beany flavor. I plant all my pole type beans about three -five seed in a hole holes three ft in two parallel rows stagered here is a picture of this years crop I will find some pictures of last year and post later I am at work right now   Note beans are three ft apart in each row and two rows. When I stake I put three poles in each hole and tie alternating one pole from each side. by end of June this will be a solid blanket of beans |

Rodger, Thanks so much for filling in the gaps in the info. 68 Days sounds good. And your explanation of planting technique plus pics as they look now gives me a good idea of how to plant them. I'm looking forward to pics of last years crop when you have the chance.
