French climbing green beans produce beautiful slender green beans of approximately 14 cm without wire. It is a medium early pole green bean variety.
French pole beans are tender, slender green beans with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. They’re best used fresh and lightly cooked to preserve their crisp texture and bright color.
• Steamed or blanched and finished with butter, olive oil, lemon, or herbs
• Sautéed with garlic, shallots, or almonds (classic French style)
• Stir-fried with vegetables or meats
• Added to soups and stews near the end of cooking
• Served cold in salads after blanching
• Preserved by pickling or freezing
They pair especially well with butter, parsley, thyme, garlic, mustard, and light cream sauces.
Beans are highly-productive, easy-to-grow crops. Pole beans and peas are tall, vining crops that will need trellising support, such as the Staking System. Pole beans and peas continue producing throughout the growing season, allowing for ongoing harvests and fresh vegetables to eat with lunch or dinner every few days. Frequent harvesting of pole beans helps ensure that the plants keep producing. Bush beans, such as soybeans, don’t need much support since they are more robust and compact. Bush bean crops usually mature all at once, which means you'll wind up with a very large harvest at the end of the growing season. Since bush bean crops reach maturity all at the same time, they are perfect to grow if you wish to preserve several batches by freezing or canning to use at a later date. Harvest any beans or peas when they are just full and average-size. Letting them get too large can result in tough, "woody" beans with decreased flavor.
