Big clusters of 9-10cm (3.5-4\") pods develop near the tops of the plants, each containing 3-4 beautiful, plump baby Lima beans, also known as butter beans. Early Thorogreen beans are dwarf plants that grow to only 50cm (20\") tall, so do not require staking. Enjoy these fresh from the garden and field or dry them for winter use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLima beans are very high in fibre and protein but contain hardly a trace of fat. Their high magnesium content relaxes veins and arteries in the body, improving blood oxygen levels and the circulation of nutrients.

Well drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Too much nitrogen in fertilizer or manure may cause poor pod set and delayed maturity. If beans flower but do not set pods, the cause can be zinc deficiency. Try spraying the plants with kelp based fertilizer. Wet leaves on crowded plants are subject to diseases. Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid touching the leaves while they are wet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig cluster of 9-10cm (3.5-4\") pods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh in fibre and protein\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo not require staking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Coast Seeds","offers":[{"title":"20g (~60 Seeds)","offer_id":48532016922848,"sku":"BN171A","price":3.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/3340\/9702\/files\/BN171-Early-Thorogreen-0X7A3787_x640_crop_center_c681f6a1-892a-4f8b-85c6-626a6e11e1a3.webp?v=1768193088","url":"https:\/\/urban-grow.ca\/fr\/products\/west-coast-seeds-early-thorogreen-bean","provider":"Urban Grow Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
