These French beans took a little longer to germinate. They are large black beans. I soaked them in water one day and then in a tray with wet paper towel for a least 5 days. Finally they did germinate with a very well growing root system with 5 to 7 roots growing from the bean. About 90% germination for me.
My experience has been that, given the choice between a romano style bush bean and the romano pole bean, the pole bean is more productive, tastes better and lives longer. Also, you can keep pushing down seeds on a pole bean every couple of weeks to extend your growing season.
Germinated quickly, not a dud in the bunch. Picking every day at 8 to 10 inch length. Delicious just sauteed....I have frozen them in past years but they are not the same. Eat as many as you can, while you can!!!
These were only ok - not a huge producer and they struggled to germinate when other beans went crazy. They didn't earn a spot in next year's garden.
