How to Grow Royal Burgundy Bush Beans from Seed
Bush bean can be started indoors, but performs best if sown directly after the final spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds 1" deep and 2-3" apart in moist, Organically rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Whether direct sowing or transplanting, thin out strongest starts to every 18-24" in the garden as true leaves establish. Beans need light and consistent watering but, when doing so, water as close to the root as possible to avoid saturating greens known to cause root rot and mildew.
Seeds can be sown in cooler soils than most other bush beans can handle, but the soil should be at least 65°. Make sure soil is loose and moist and that the plants are in full sun. For an ongoing harvest, sow seeds every week or so, so that different plants are in different stages of their production. Pack a one inch layer of soil over the seeds, and arrange them in rows 2 feet apart with plants 4 inches apart. Water them quite often to make sure the sun doesn't dehydrate them.
Royal Burgundy Bush Beans in the Vegetable Garden
These beautiful deep purple beans are a great way to add exciting new colors to your home garden. Once they are cooked however, they resemble regular green beans almost exactly. This bush bean produces small runners. The variety is resistant to BCMV and is avoided by Mexican bean beetles.
Harvesting Royal Burgundy Bush Beans
Most varieties of bush bean are ready to harvest at about 50-60 days from sowing or once the pods are 3-5" long. Harvest often to encourage fruiting and to ensure pods do not dehydrate on the vine. Although some pods may pull cleanly from the vine, use a knife or shears for more fibrous pods to avoid accidental damage to the plant. Like many crops in the garden, it is widely believed that beans are best harvested in the morning for optimal sugar content.
