The 2014 AAS Vegetable Award Winner Named: Bean Mascotte
Are you looking to grow a great vegetable this year in your spring garden?
Would you love to grow a garden, but don’t have the space?
When I was young, my grandfather had a garden. He had a huge backyard and amazing soil. He loved to work in his garden and as a child, you could always get me to eat the vegetables if they were grown in his garden. The tomatoes were always perfectly ripe and the green beans were crispy.
Homegrown vegetables can either turn out wonderful or they can be a disaster. That is why I had to share about the national All-American Selections Vegetable Award Winner of 2014, the bean mascotte. This vegetable does not just produce a great veggie, but it also can be grown in virtually any space.
Bean Mascotte
Here is what the All-America Selections had to say about this year’s pick,
“Judges appreciated the crunchiness and taste of this bean as well as the plentiful harvest all season long. The Mascotte root system is ideal for patio containers and window boxes, and this versatile variety performs well in garden beds too.”
Information About Growing The Bean Mascotte
If you are interested in adding this vegetable to your garden this spring, here is some information to check out.
- The bean mascotte is an annual plant, meaning you’ll need to plant it every year.
- While you can plant in your garden, on your window sill, or in a container, you will want to pick a spot that receives full sun.
- Plan to sow when the soil is warm enough, and then every 2 weeks thereafter until July.
- Space the bean plants about 3 inches apart and keep the rows about 12 inches apart.
- Make sure to leave lots of room for the bean plants because they grow up to 6 inches long and the plant to spread up to 10 inches.
- This bean is very disease resistance.
