The plump, oblong beans are creamy white and speckled with deep burgundy. The markings darken to almost coffee brown as the seeds age. During the summer, Jacob's Cattle Bean makes quite a nice snap bean, before the seeds mature. By the end of the season, the prolific bush plants produce masses of pods that are easy and fun to harvest for winter storage. The tasty beans cook in about half the time as other dry beans. It is also known by the colourful names Coach Dog, Dalmation, and Anasazi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 413.087px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003ePhaseolus Vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Sprout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e8-16 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e90 days \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eEasy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eFull-sun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 99.564px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.8493%; height: 99.564px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eStarting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.1507%; height: 99.564px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSow seeds 2-5cm (1-2″) deep, 5-8cm (2-3″) apart, in rows 45-60cm (18-24″) apart.

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\u003eBush bean\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAncient heirloom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruly beautiful beans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible as snap beans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Coast Seeds","offers":[{"title":"15g (~30 Seeds)","offer_id":48532107559136,"sku":"BN205A","price":5.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/3340\/9702\/files\/BN205-Jacob_s-Cattle-Bean-0X7A0782_x640_crop_center_b9f23962-f5b7-4946-85ea-6570bd444db8.webp?v=1768196951","url":"https:\/\/urban-grow.ca\/products\/west-coast-seeds-jacobs-cattle-bean-organic-bean","provider":"Urban Grow Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
