The Story
Half Runner Beans Mountaineer
High yielding bean with round 4-5 inch rich-tasting pods. Plants have a bushy habit, sending out 32-36" runners that may be trellised for easier harvest and to save space but also grows well without it. Stringless snap beans when young; shell or dry white beans at late maturity. Delicious fresh and ideal for canning and freezing. Disease-resistant. Ready to harvest in 55-60 days.

Gardener's Notes: Beans need warm weather to grow. Plant in late spring after night temperatures reach 55 F (13 C). Sow seeds 3 inches apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Sow every 2-3 weeks until early summer for continuous supply. Keep soil evenly moist. Harvest when pods are about 4 inches long for snap beans or leave to mature on plants for shelling beans. Pick every other day to keep producing more pods.
