Notes

'Greencrop' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Greencrop') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is a climbing bean with rapid growth, so give it a trellis or poles to climb.

Pairs well with Tiny Tim tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Dark Green Italian parsley.
