Beans (Bush Snap)
Contender (Buff Valentine)
| 7 | 9" | 5" x 1' 1" | 42 days. Our all around favorite. [Introduced in 1949 by the SC/AES. Possibly derived from pre-1855 'Early Valentine'] The best early green bean for gardeners who desire a combination of good flavor, disease resistance, and high yields. Has excellent fresh eating quality and is very well liked by our customers. Bears slightly curved thick pods, approximately 5-1/2" long. Fairly hardy under adverse conditions and well suited to solar-greenhouse use because of its earliness, heat tolerance and disease resistance. Resistant to common bean mosaic virus (race 1) and tolerant of powdery mildew.
Direct sow: 3-3-2013. Excellent germination rate ~95%.

Cucumber
Arkansas Little Leaf H-19
| 3 | 1' 11" | 1' 11" x 1' 11" | 55 days. (als, an, bw, cmv, dm, pm, scab) [Developed and released by the Univ. of Arkansas in 1991.] This white-spined pickler has multiple disease resistance and a number of useful features. The compact vines have multiple branch points and will climb a fence or trellis with ease. The smaller leaf size allows for fruit visibility under the foliage, and the parthenocarpic flowers produce fruit under stress and without pollinators. Medium-sized, blocky fruits can be used for slicing and pickling.
Started date:
After beginning to harden off, all seedlings started indoors wilted. Too cold? Fungal problem?
Direct sow: 3-3-2013.
