Pencil Pod is an heirloom variety popular with gardeners since it was introduced in 1900. The "slim as a pencil curved yellow pods are 6" long, stringless and tender. Unlike green beans, these black-seeded yellow wax snap beans are easy to see among the foliage. Grow in the ground or in containers. Very disease resistant.
This packet plants one 10 foot row.
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when temperatures are warm. To produce beans all season, sow a new crop every 7 - 14 days up to 60 days before first fall frost.
Note: In very hot summer areas, sow in March for June harvest, and August for late September harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
