Why Choose Yard Long Python Pole Bean?
- Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable harvests.
- Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA structure has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
- Easy to Grow: Minimal special care, simple conditions, and little risk of failure to germinate and thrive. These seeds are forgiving of small mistakes and can produce results with just basic gardening tools and common sense.
- Heat Tolerant: Exceptionally well-suited to warm and hot climates — thrives where other beans struggle, making it a top choice for southern and summer gardens.
- Impressive Yields: Pods reach 16-20 inches — dramatically longer than conventional pole beans — for fewer plants and more food per square foot.
Planting Tips for Success
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep directly in the garden after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F.
- Spacing: Plant seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.
- Sun: Full sun — at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Thrives in hot summer conditions.
- Watering: Water consistently, about 1 inch per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
- Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or sturdy pole at least 8-10 feet tall. Python vines are vigorous and will climb aggressively — solid support is essential for maximum yield.
- Fertilizing: Beans fix their own nitrogen — avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. A balanced starter fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
- Harvest: Pick pods at 16-20 inches while still tender and before seeds bulge. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production through the season.
