Description

(Phaseolus vulgaris) Bush bean. Superior producer of nice straight dark-green pods for snaps. The slim 4- to 5-inch pods are stringless, and the flavor is every bit as outstanding as the yield! This French variety makes a fine crop for market growers or home gardeners. What’s more, it has excellent tolerance to bean mosaic virus, making it easier to care for.

Growing Tips

Cantare beans grow best in warm, well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Regular watering is crucial, but ensure the soil is not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and keep the soil temperature consistent. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth and pod production.

When to Grow

Plant Cantare beans after the last frost date in your area when the soil temperature reaches at least 60 F. The ideal temperature for Cantare beans is 70-80 F. For best results, check your local frost dates and ensure the risk of freezing temperatures has passed before sowing.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow Cantare bean seeds directly in the garden. Plant the seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced about 18-24 inches apart. Thin the seedlings to the recommended spacing once they have grown a few inches tall.

How to Grow

Beans require consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod formation. As these are bush beans, they don’t require support. Regularly check for pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to prevent soil-borne issues. Pick frequently to keep plants productive, and succession plant for prolonged harvest.

How to Save

Common beans do not easily cross pollinate and can be grown close to one another, making them the ideal seed-saving project for beginners.

Save seeds from the best-looking, best-tasting, and most vigorous beans.

Leave pods on the plant to dry. Pull the plants and shake them vigorously into a bag to release the beans from the pods (same as you would for using them as dried beans).

Store in a cool, dry place for the winter (a glass jar in the refrigerator works well!).
