Topcrop (Top Crop) Bush Green Garden Bean
Topcrop (Top Crop) Bush Green Garden Bean
50 days — Also marketed by vendors as 'Top Crop', it is a very disease resistant variety with strong upright plants that reach twenty-four inches tall. Its pods are six to seven inches long, round and stringless. The crops are heavy with pickings concentrated. The seeds are dark brown speckled with tan. Great fresh, canned or frozen.
'Topcrop' was released by the USDA, Beltsville, Maryland in 1950 and was an "All-America Selection®" winner that same year. Each packet contains one ounce, which is approximately 80 seeds.
Sow seeds 1½ inches deep, every two to three inches. Bush-type beans do not require support.
Pick the pods while young as they are more tender and succulent and less likely to be stringy.
