Maxi Filet Bush Bean

50 days. An authentic haricot vert, our Maxi Filet Bush Bean is the top pick for fine restaurants growing their own fresh vegetables. It boasts of early maturity, dependability, high yields and great flavor. A highly coveted haricot vert rarely found at any market, Maxi's tender, flavorful, slender Green Beans emerge above its foliage on upright bushes for easy harvest. Just snip off the cherished Beans when they are between 1/6" and 1/4" wide and about 7" long~no bigger. These elegant Beans are the ultimate in taste, appearance and texture, perfectly presented when just lightly steamed with a hint of good butter and sea salt. (OP.)

  • Information
    • Beans are the mainstay of the kitchen garden: both easy and rewarding. Store-bought can't compare with home-grown Beans; modest toil and small Bean patches yield large returns. To satisfy zee french in you, here are five haricots verts or ultra-slim filet types, difficult to find at the market and coveted by chefs everywhere. Beans are native to South America: sow when soil has reliably warmed to 60°F or by the last frost date. Harvest straight to the kitchen at their optimal size for eating, usually when small. Pick filet types when thin. Don't wait until seeds form in their tender pods because by then, the sweetness, not to mention the tender-crispness, is lost.

    Average seed life: 2-3 years.
  • Gardening Tips
    • Just because legumes are known to improve the soil in which they grow, it does not mean that they needn't be planted in good soil themselves. This is especially true of Beans. If you dig in well-rotted manure at the time of planting, your bean plants will grow better, be more free from disease and give you a better yield.

      Beans Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      : 1"
      Row Spacing: 18"-36"
      Seed Spacing: 3"-4"
      Days to Germination: 6-10 days
      Germination Temperature: 60°-80°F

      Beans love sun and well-draining, fertile soil. Plant Beans when the soil has warmed to 60°F and all danger of frost has passed. Amend the soil as needed with organic fertilizer, compost and/or well-aged manure. Cool, wet weather may necessitate a second planting: bean seeds rot in cold, damp soil. After planting, do not water until the sprouts emerge, unless it is very hot and dry. After emergence, and throughout the season, avoid watering the foliage. Water as needed by soaking the soil around the Beans and fertilize with kelp or fish emulsion as needed.

      For Pole Beans, provide support with rough poles, teepees, netting or a trellis. Harvest when the Beans are young, slim and on the small side for the best eating! It is vital to keep Beans picked regularly since seed formation slows and eventually halts production. Sow Bush Beans every 10 to 15 days until 2 months before the first frost date in the fall for continuous yields.

      A mainstay of the kitchen garden, homegrown Beans outshine those that are store-bought in their delicious, just-picked flavor, crisp-tender texture and rich vitamin content.

      My favorite use for purple-podded Beans is to pick them while slim and tender, along with green and yellow ones, and arrange all three on a platter with a hummus dip.
