Blauhilde has super, long, oval pods which stay beautifully tender even when they grow quite large. The plants are strong growing and you can expect a high yield.
SOW: start these off in pots or modules placed in an unheated greenhouse or even on a window during April or May. You can sow directly into the sol but wait until mid as they really do not like cold soil. You can sow as late as July for a later harvest.
GROW: plant out after hardening off when about 15cm tall after all frost danger has passed. Blauhilde is happy climbing canes in a row or arranged as teepees. French Beans are self pollinating. They also cope well with drier summers
EAT: pick young and cook whole or sliced or leave the pods at the end of the season for drying. They are super in winter casseroles. All of our French beans freeze well.
