VEGETABLES / BEAN
DRY-BUSH
Bush/dry. 85-90 for the start of dry pods. This productive strain of Soldier grew to 24 inches tall for me in 2014. Seeds are white slightly kidney shaped with a pink figure around the eye when harvested new which will take about several years to begin to darken. In the autumn of 2016 I made a bean soup and a baked bean recipe with this bean using two year old beans. They stewed soft yet remained firm. This proved to me the idea that you can't use dry beans beyond a year may not always be true. It may depend differences in variety. Source: CV Green Thumb Seeds, Canfield, Ontario Canada '11
