{"product_id":"bean-bush-strike","title":"Bean Seeds - Bush - Strike","description":"\u003cp\u003eUp to 70 days. The strike green bean is a popular variety of bean, due to the high yield. Strike beans can be harvested as soon as fifty days after being planted. This variety grows in the shape of a bush, and therefore does not need a pole or support. Because green beans are annual, you can simply pull the root from the ground when it’s time to pick them. Stringless, smooth beans average 5-6\" in length, and are medium green in color. A concentrated set makes for easy picking. Excellent yield potential. Strike is known for its concentrated pod set which allows for heavy harvests that are ideal for processing or freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Strike Bush Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Phaseolus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-70 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mound\/bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loose soil, PH level of 6 to 7 preferred, cannot germinate in cold soil so best to sow in late spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests\/diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aphids, spider mites, grasshoppers, slugs.

Beans need light, but even, watering. Because the leaves can become afflicted with disease if made wet, you should water as close to the root as possible. If you do find that a leaf has become diseased, remove it from the plant immediately, as the disease can spread. You can begin harvesting beans when they are about three to five inches long; this will usually be around fifty to seventy days. Leaving mature beans on the plant can stop or slow production, so be sure to keep an eye on these beans!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBush beans require full sun and well-drained soil. Good air circulation around bush bean plants is essential, especially for late shelling or dry type beans, as they are very susceptible to fungal diseases which prevail later in the season. Bush beans are light feeders; compost or well-rotted manures worked into the soil at the time of planting is sufficient. Pick Strike beans frequently, plants will stop producing if beans are left to grow to maturity. Pick them before the seeds inside have grown too large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"30 g Packet","offer_id":35361627898018,"sku":"48438","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361627930786,"sku":"30866","price":9.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361627963554,"sku":"30867","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lb","offer_id":35361627996322,"sku":"30869","price":81.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/bush-bean-strike-seed-wm_700.jpg?v=1595856237","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/bean-bush-strike","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
