Fideluta climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Climbing bean FidelutaPhaseolus vulgaris var. communis 'Fideluta'FabaceaeMaturity 60-70 daysBean of Romanian origin. It was given to me by an old community gardener who had experienced the war and who brought this bean with him when he emigrated to Canada about 50 years ago. This gardener prefers to eat them semi-dry, that is to say that he shells them when the seed is still fresh, but very large. Very similar to Merveille de Venise, and Romano type beans. Delicious in cassoulets.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Avoid handling or removing weeds when the beans are wet to prevent the spread of disease. When the seedlings have started to sprout, ensure that the plants do not lack water until the first true leaves appear.
