'Blue Lake FM-1K' certainly would support that statement. Besides outstanding flavor, plants are high-yielding. Vigorous, 5'–8' vines produce a bounty of 5\"–7\", white-seeded beans that are excellent fresh, and also canned or frozen.

This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. Harvesting early and often will stimulate flower production for more beans. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"FM-1K","offer_id":44466615058568,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7158\/6440\/files\/product-media-395645.jpg?v=1763093414","url":"https:\/\/shoalcreeknursery.com\/products\/botanical-interests-beefsteak-pole-tomato-seeds-copy","provider":"Shoal Creek Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
