Provider Bush Snap Bean
The easy-to-grow classic green bean starts producing a harvest in just 50 days. It can also be planted earlier than other beans as it germinates well in cool soils. It also does well in heat. Stringless, delicious, and if you can’t eat them well, they freeze wonderfully.

Beans are a win-win since they take nitrogen from the air and fix it into the soil, improving it for future crops.
