Bean, Bush Dry, 'Lina Sisco's Bird Egg'

*Ark of Taste Heirloom*
A family heirloom from one of the six original members of the Seed Savers Exchange (now the largest public participation heirloom seed organization in the world). These beans are said to have been brought by Lina’s grandmother to Missouri by covered wagon in the 1880s. Delicious smooth texture and rich flavor for soups or on their own. Terrific variety to freeze as shelly beans for wonderful winter meals! Horticultural type.

FERTILITY:

Low to average. Beans prefer well-drained warm soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Beans prefer warm soils and may rot at lower temperatures. This is particularly true for white seeded varieties. You love beans. Patience.

To increase yields in areas where beans have not previously been grown, use an inoculant to introduce rhizobia bacteria into the soil.

Allow pods to dry on plant before harvest.
