Goldmarie, organic seed
Eco New variety Heirloom
Information
It’s a pleasure to see these long, waxy yellow pods hanging at the perfect picking height. They are also among the tastiest of the pole beans. The tender pod is flat-round, about 2–2.5 cm wide, and has no strings or membranes. It can grow 22–24 cm long, but is most delicate when harvested at 16–18 cm. The plant easily climbs over two meters and requires sturdy support in the form of stakes or tall sunflowers.
Goldmarie continues to produce well into the fall as long as the pods are harvested regularly. As a named variety, it has been popular since the 1800s and is believed to have originated in Italy. It is classified as a cultural heritage variety. Annual.
One portion contains about 40 seeds.

Cultivation advice
Sowing
Do not sow too early. For if the seeds are to germinate and not rot, the soil must be warmed up to at least 12oC, preferably 16oC. Sow the beans 3-5 cm deep.Spacing
Keep 10-15 cm between the plants and 30-50 cm between the rows! The rows can be closer together in beds, but be careful. Beans should grow in an airy manner. If the climate is damp it is better to choose a wider distance between the plants and the rows. The Bean spot disease, a common fungal disease, can easily hit the plants, especially if they grow to close together.Harvest
Pick off the pods often! Do not wait until they are too big, for then they grow more or less fibrous and get tough. The bean plant produces more pods as long as the old ones are picked. The beans can be frozen after parboiling or dried. Preservation is an old reliable method of keeping fresh beans and souring is too.Seed
