Growing Green Crop Bush Bean
‘Green Crop’ is a productive flat-podded bush bean and 1957 All-America Selections Winner prized for its early maturity, adaptability, and tender, flavorful pods. Vigorous plants produce heavy yields of long, flat green beans with excellent eating quality and dependable garden performance.
Sow ‘Green Crop’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants about 2 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 12 to 18 inches tall and grow in a sturdy bush habit, generally requiring little to no support.
Ready to harvest in about 49 days, begin picking the 8-inch pods while they are still young, tender, and crisp. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Tender, productive, and versatile, ‘Green Crop’ is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
