Bean Blue Lake Pole – MIg

Description

Blue Lake Pole Beans are a classic heirloom variety known for their long, slender, stringless pods and excellent flavor. These vigorous climbing beans grow tall and require trellising or support but reward you with high yields over a long harvest period. They are crisp, sweet, and perfect for steaming, sautéing, or preserving. Ideal for gardeners with vertical space or trellised beds.

When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)

In the UAE, Blue Lake Pole Beans should be directly sown outdoors in mid-September, as temperatures begin to moderate. This allows for strong germination and growth before the cooler winter months set in. Avoid planting in peak summer heat or coldest months.

Tips for Planting

• Choose a site with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil

• Set up a trellis, poles, or netting before sowing

• Sow seeds directly 2–3 cm deep, 10–15 cm apart

• Space rows 60–90 cm apart for air circulation

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering

• Harvest when pods are slender and crisp, usually 60–70 days after sowing

• Regular harvesting encourages continuous production
