Straight & Narrow

Phaseolus vulgaris

We searched for a good producing filet bean, and found them in Straight and Narrow. When the variety began disappearing from seed catalogues, we decided to start saving our own, and good thing we did as these are not easy to find now. This bean produces well, on compact plants producing multiple harvests of delicious tasting and textured fine filet beans. Best if picked every few days.

Growing instructions:

Direct seed 5cm (2") deep, 5-8cm (2-3") apart as soon as soil is warm, in rows 45cm (18") apart. Thin to 15cm (6") apart. 8-16 days to germination. For dried beans, stop watering when the pods first start to dry. Harvest when all pods are dry, then store in a dry place with good airflow out of direct sunlight to dry completely before shelling.
