Beans (pole)

Collection: Beans (pole)

Direct seed pole beans into well drained soil in full sun once the soil has warmed to 16-21 degrees Celsius. Warmer is better. We plant in early June in our zone 5 conditions. Sow 2.5 cm deep with the eye facing down and space 15 cm apart in rows or 5 seeds at the base of each pole. Bacterial inoculant will increase production. Provide poles or twine and watch them climb or try them on a formal obelisk in an ornamental setting. Pick frequently to encourage a continuous supply of beans. To harvest dry beans, allow pods to dry to a crisp and shell out the beans. They are dry enough to store when seed coats cannot be dented with your fingernail.

About Hawthorn Farm

Hawthorn Farm began in 1996 on a kitchen table with a single-page catalogue of organic seeds and a dream.

Today, we offer several hundred organic, open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seed varieties to other farmers and gardeners across Canada.

Many seed companies simply resell imported seed from around the world. On our Canadian farm, we grow, harvest, test, and package seeds using organic practices that enrich soil and protect ecosystems.

Most of our seeds are produced right here, either on our own farm or by our local network of small growers. Varieties unsuited for producing excellent seed in our climate (zone 4 and 5) are carefully sourced from trusted growers in other regions.

Every packet reflects rigorous standards and a deep respect for the land. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Seeds are more than something to sell, they’re a way to connect.

Each summer we open our farm for workshops and tours, sharing the craft of seed saving.

We support schools, nonprofits, and community groups with seeds and knowledge, believing that communities grow stronger by sharing resources.

Good food starts with exceptional seed.
