Pole bean: Snowcap

Description

This variety is from Peak Week Pods. JC Terblanche says: ‘This is a personal favourite of mine for good reason. Snowcap beans are probably the biggest dry beans that I offer and they produce beautiful large beans that are a good option for stretching meals, especially stews with a bacon/tomato base. The vines will find their way up and around support without needing any real maintenance. Produced early, the big pods are filled with tan and maroon mottled beans with a pure white belly. It is believed to be the same bean as Mostoller’s Wild Goose, but I can’t confirm that yet. It is related to the borlotti family, but the pods don’t have any red or streaks on them, and mature from green to yellow. Snowcaps are easy to shell if that bothers you in any way. The plants are resilient and do well even in the poorest of soil and conditions. This variety will be on my grow list for many years to come.’
