HOW TO GROW BEAN
Direct sow after last frost when soil tempt is about 70˚F. Beans are sensitive to cool soil and will rot if soil temps are below 55˚F. Sow bush snap beans every 2-3 weeks until mid summer for a continued harvest. Sow pole beans from late spring to very early summer. Sow pole beans 3 seeds per hole, 8” between hole and trellis rows 4’ spacing. Thin to 6-8” apart. Beans are susceptible to numerous diseases, avoid wetting foliage, remove plants at the end of the year, practice 4 year crop rotation. Save each year’s seeds in separate containers. Crossing is not apparent until the next generations. Soil pH 6-6.8. Hardiness zones 5-13. Annual.

Fortex is a French filet bean that produces extra long, 11” stringless, round pods. This early producing pole bean continues producing beans into the fall after others quit. Vines stand up to repeated harvests. Pick the beans at 7" in length for extra slender, gourmet filet beans. Dark green, firm-textured pods are delicious at all lengths, nutty flavor even after the seeds enlarge. Walnut brown seeds, worth every penny. Also buy with Tavera.
