Bean - Contender
You just won't find an earlier bean. Snap beans prefer rich, organic, and well drained soil. Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. Like other snap beans, Contender is stringless and excellent cooked or eaten right out of the garden. The Contender is tasty, stringless, and it takes only 40 days from sowing to harvest. This is when the seeds have just begun to form. The plants are 12 to 20 inches tall. The Bean Bush Snap Contender, 'Phaseolus vulgaris', is the earliest bean we could find.

Sweet Pea - Pastel Sunset The Sweet Pea Pastel Sunset, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is an artist's palette of soft shades, including cream, almond, pink, lavender and white. They will generally bloom 3 to 5 weeks. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea Pastel Sunset is very early planting. The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. |
