Bean - Green - Fin de Bagnols

OH I originally got these seeds from Mark Christensen from the Heritage Food Crops Research Trust, as my Mum had requested a French haricot vert type bean. We were not disappointed with this heritage variety from France circa 1800’s. It was first introduced commercially in 1957 by Pucel Camut. A filet bean best picked when young at 7-10cm in length to get the stringless stage. Eat fresh, steam or sauté. A bush variety, so does not requiring staking.   

Sow in glasshouse in trays at 4cm diagonal spacing in September or direct in the garden when chance of frost has passed. From trays prick out when true leaves appear and transplant into fertile soil at 25cm diagonal spacing, no trellis needed as it has a bush habit. For autumn crop repeat sowing in January/February.

25 seeds.
