Bean, Nickel Baby French Filet

Sun Exposure: full sun Level of Care: easy

(55-60 Day) Developed in France, this extra fancy 'baby' green beam (pronounced Knee' kel) combines fine quality with quantity. The dark green beans are smooth, slim, straight and completely stringless with flavor that is deliciously sweet and uniquely different. Vigorous plants are tolerant to stress and disease, bearing heavy, concentrated sets of pods high off the ground for easy picking. Best harvest size is 4 to 5 inches, but slow seed development allows prolonged yields. Usually served only in finest restaurants, grow these gourmet beans to add elegance and fine flavor to your own meals. Small-seeded, approximately 180 seeds per ounce.
