About This

  • THE ULTIMATE GARDEN CONTENDER: Why is it called "Contender"? Because it’s a top-tier candidate for the #1 spot in your garden. This award-winning bush bean delivers early, heavy yields in just 50 days, outperforming other varieties in speed and reliability.
  • HEIRLOOM & NON-GMO QUALITY: Get premium, all-natural American seeds that are open-pollinated and non-hybrid. These untreated seeds are "grown with love," ensuring high germination and the ability to save seeds for future seasons.
  • RESILIENT & ADAPTABLE GROWER: This variety thrives where others struggle. Highly resistant to bean mosaic virus and powdery mildew, Contender Bush is famously adaptable to various climates, soil types, and short growing seasons.
  • COMPACT BUSH BREAD: No poles or supports needed! This compact, upright bush bean is perfect for small gardens, raised beds, or traditional rows. Its tidy growth habit makes it a "carefree" option for gardeners of all skill levels.
  • DELICATE GOURMET FLAVOR: Enjoy stringless, tender pods with a rich, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor. The meaty texture remains crisp and delicious, whether eaten fresh, steamed, or sautéed, providing a true gourmet experience.
  • IDEAL FOR PRESERVATION: Contender beans are a favorite for canning and freezing. Unlike other varieties, they maintain their firm texture, vibrant color, and intense flavor even after long-term storage or processing.

  • NATURAL SOIL ENRICHER: Like most legumes, Contender beans are nitrogen-fixers. They take nitrogen from the atmosphere and store it in the soil, naturally improving fertility for the next crops in your garden rotation.
  • CONTINUOUS HARVEST POTENTIAL: For a never-ending supply of fresh beans, practice successive sowing every two weeks throughout spring and summer. This resilient variety is tolerant of both cool snaps and hot, humid conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about growing a beautiful garden

The best time to plant vegetables depends on your climate zone. Generally, cool-season crops like lettuce and peas thrive in early spring, while warm-season crops like tomatoes and peppers should be planted after the last frost date.
Most gardens need about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Water deeply but less frequently to encourage strong root growth. Early morning is the best time to water to minimize evaporation and disease.
Loamy soil with good drainage is ideal for most plants. It should be rich in organic matter, have a pH between 6.0-7.0, and retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain. Adding compost annually improves soil structure and fertility.
Companion planting, crop rotation, and encouraging beneficial insects are effective natural pest control methods. Marigolds deter many pests, while ladybugs and lacewings eat aphids. Regular inspection and hand-picking larger pests also helps.
