Q.pole green beans
Just picked my first batch of green beans. Many of them look thin, not plump like normal. Is it perhaps the beans–blue lake and they are, of course, pole beans. They get plenty of water.
Blue Lake is an heirloom variety that produces a pod that is 5 to 6 inches.
Descriptions of this varieties characteristics include straight, plump and tender white seeds.
Environmental conditions could play a part in thin bean pods as well as watering and nutrients.
A garden journal is a great way to note the results from new varieties and a great resource to determine if you will choose those seeds again.
