Lazy Housewife Pole Bean

‘Lazy Housewife’ is a vigorous heirloom pole bean valued for its versatility, stringless pods, and easy harvesting. The climbing vines produce long, mid-green pods filled with distinctive shiny white seeds and can be harvested at several different stages depending on how you plan to use them.

Sow ‘Lazy Housewife’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The vigorous vines should be grown on a trellis, fence, or other sturdy support.

Harvest the pods young and tender for use as snap beans, allow the beans to develop further for fresh shell beans, or leave the pods on the vines until fully mature and dry for storage. This flexible harvest window makes ‘Lazy Housewife’ a useful all-purpose bean.

‘Lazy Housewife’ beans are well suited for fresh cooking, canning, freezing, shelling, and drying for later use.
