Pole Bean Multi-Coloured (Phaseolus vulgaris var. vulgaris) - Jimenez

Pole Bean Multi-Coloured (Phaseolus vulgaris var. vulgaris) - Jimenez


A climbing or pole bean, French Bean Jimenez has been bred to grow in the form of vines which cling to poles or trellises. Their growth habit makes them very easy to harvest. These beans are also very easy to grow so long as you give them a nice warm site and a little shelter. An heirloom variety of French bean Jimenez is a strong grower and produces heavy crops of large long flat pods. The vines or plants can reach 7-8 feet tall but a 5 foot tepee, trellis or poles are usually sufficient. The flat pods are green streaked with red, have a great flavour and are stringless until they start to ripen. As they mature the pods get redder. The seeds or beans inside are of course coloured. Pods can be sliced when green and used as fresh beans or left to mature, then shelled and dried.

Highly colourful, French Bean Jimenez has a strong resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus.

Perfect for a sunny, well-drained spot, French bean Jimenez prefers to grow in moist, fertile soil away from strong winds, but it can also be grown successfully in pots.

Garlic Chives (Allium fistulosum)

Garlic Chives (Allium fistulosum)


Garlic Chives, sometimes called Chinese Chives, are perennial herbs. They look like grass, similar to chives but have a gentle spicy aroma and a distinct but much milder flavour of garlic. A member of the onion family they are very easy to grow. Garlic chives will thrive and grow vigorously on any fertile, moist but well drained site in full sun. A relatively new vegetable in the western world, garlic chives are well known in Asian cuisine. Grows slowly in expanding clumps and, besides its use as a vegetable, the plant's attractive flowers ensure that it is sometimes grown in perennial borders. Both the leaves and the stalks of the flowers are used as flavouring as well as a stir fry ingredient. The flowers can also be used as a spice. Garlic chives are extremely hardy and can survive very low temperatures (some have been know to survive -35 C) in winter and sprout again in spring when the temperature rises.
To speed seed germination it is generally recommended that seeds be soaked in warm water (below 40 C) for about 24 hours prior to sowing.

Uses include mixed in omelettes or scrambled eggs, all sorts of salads or chopped very finely and sprinkled over cooked new potatoes.

Lollo Bionda Type Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - Loose Leaf Green

Packetseeds >  Vegetable Seeds  >  A-Z Common Names (All varieties)  >  L-O  >  Lollo Bionda Type Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - Loose Leaf Green
Lollo Bionda Type Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - Loose Leaf Green Lollo Bionda Type Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - Loose Leaf Green Ref: 420

Lettuce Lollo Bionda forms a beautiful round mound of lime green, crisp, frilled edged leaves, without a firm heart. Native to Italy, lettuce Lollo Bionda is easy to grow, maturing only 48-50 days after sowing and makes an attractive complement to its red leaved cousin Lollo Rossa. This loose leaved variety can be harvested in different ways, cut and use the entire plant or use as a cut and come again by picking leaves as required. Extremely useful for inter-cropping between taller crops such as peas and beans which need a longer time to mature this super frilly loose leaf lettuce Lollo Bionda is also very popular with hyrdroponic growers and in our opinion is one of the prettiest pale green varieties on the market.

As with all lettuce Lollo Bionda prefers a rich, moisture retentive soil. Shows a strong resistance to bolting.
