Jacob's Cattle (Trout) Bush Dry Bean, Organic

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - Popular northern heirloom, though it was likely developed in VA by Jacob Trout.] Beautiful and distinctive seeds. Large, kidney-shaped beans are spotted with maroon markings on a white coat. Excellent for baking and soups.  Certified Organic  Heirloom  Especially well-suited to the South-East  From Small Farms  Instructions - Similar to Snap Beans, peppering seeds with inoculants before sowing helps ensure good growth. Beans may benefit from a source of soluble nitrogen (if your soil is low in nitrogen) during the first 3 weeks until nitrogen-fixing nodules develop, but do not apply nitrogen after this period. Dark-seeded beans are more resistant to rotting in cool soil than light-seeded beans. Beans need a minimum soil temperature of 65 degrees F to germinate well, otherwise, seeds may rot. Harvest dried pods before rains so seeds won’t mold inside pods. Continue drying pods for 2-4 weeks under cover before shelling and storing.   Firefly Farm
