Bean Mbombo
These are dazzling emerald-green beans that can be eaten fresh (60 days) or dried (100 days). Heat & drought tolerant from northern Africa. These are not only beautiful, they are SUPER creamy, the BEST flavour, our favourite bean! Slightly vining bush plants grow to about 18". Trellising is not required, but light support can help with harvest and prevent damage caused by pods touching the ground.
Direct seed 5cm (2"") deep, 5-8cm (2-3"") apart as soon as soil is warm, in rows 45cm (18"") apart. Thin to 15cm (6"") apart.
Days to Germinate: 8-16 days
Matures 80-90 days to dry bean
Approx. 35 seeds
Stop watering when the pods first start to dry. Harvest pods as they dry (or once most are dry) then store in a dry place with good airflow out of direct sunlight to dry completely (should be brittle) for easy shelling/threshing. Whole plants can also be cut and moved under cover to finish drying if necessary.
