Bean Bush - Snap - Blue Lake 274
The Bean Bush Snap Blue Lake 274, 'Phaseolus vulgaris', is an old time favorite with exceptional Blue Lake flavor. It is noted for retaining excellent flavor and texture as a frozen bean. The snap bean or green bean is eaten pod and all like one of those vegetables, such as tomatoes, that tastes significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the store. Blue Lake 274 produces a very large crop of round, 6 inch pods all at once. Plant the Blue Lake 274 Snap Bean after the last average frost date. Bush beans can be planted in succession to produce beans all season. Seed in new crop every 7 to 14 days. In hot summer areas, the beans should be planted in March for June harvest. This bush bean prefers rich, organic, well drained, and warm soil. The soil must be kept evenly moist but not soggy. ... get more information
Pepper - Chile - Mulato Isleno The Pepper Hot Mulato Isleno, 'Capsicum annuum', is a large Anaheim-type pepper for stuffing or roasting. This mildly hot Pablano-type roasting/stuffing pepper is dark green maturing to a very dark chocolate brown color. When dried for chili powder or strung on a string for decoration, the Pablanos are called Ancho peppers. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often.
