More and more new plants appear on our plots. Experienced gardeners are constantly looking for something new to test their strength and diversify their gardening life. One of these plants, which are not very common in our gardens, is beans. Of course, this is a huge omission, because this plant has a huge number of benefits.

Variety description

Terms of maturation: this variety is very early, only 55 days from germination to first harvest.

plant size: this asparagus bean grows into a bush with a height of 45 cm to 60 cm.

Palatability: No wonder this variety got such a delicious name, pods and seeds are very sweet and juicy.

Growing time: Caramel beans grow from May to July, after which the harvest takes place for 2,5-3 months.

Raznovydnost: Caramel belongs to asparagus varieties. This suggests that such beans are eaten along with the pods.

Landing

This crop is planted with the end of return frosts. Depending on geographical and climatic conditions, this period is from mid-May to the first decade of June. The depth of planting seeds of the caramel variety is 6-7 cm. An important event is the planting site: location in an illuminated area, not subject to strong winds, with light fertile soil. Suitable areas after growing potatoes, cabbage, or tomatoes.

Attention! If a drop in air temperature is imminent, and the crop has already been planted, it is necessary to provide a reliable shelter for seedlings.

Asparagus beans of the Caramel variety are a plant defenseless against low temperatures.

Cultivation and care

Green bean is a very undemanding plant. Caring for it consists in the usual activities: moderate watering, loosening, if the soil is knocked down or crusted, weeding weeds.

Separately, I want to say about top dressing. Since the asparagus bean is a fast-growing plant, long-term and fruit-bearing, it is natural that it requires a thorough nutrition. However, there is nothing complicated about this. After germination, on the 10-12th day, top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers will be very good. It can be a solution of bird droppings or mullein. Help at the beginning of flowering will be phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.

Harvesting

Harvesting becomes the most time-consuming process in working with this vegetable crop. As soon as the very first pod has ripened, it is necessary to check the plantings for maturation every day. Overripe asparagus becomes coarse and loses its taste. In addition, it is important to decide on storage. Asparagus beans are either canned or frozen, otherwise they will simply dry out. Harvesting ripe pods stimulates the growth of a new wave of crops.

Prior to this, she had grown grain beans for 2 years, and bought green beans frozen in a supermarket. Until one day I thought: why not raise her myself. I bought seeds of several varieties, among them was the Caramel variety. There were no problems with growing: the seedlings were friendly, the plants grew strong, quickly began to bear fruit. Most of all I liked the taste of the pods. In this, Caramel was noticeably different from other varieties. Very juicy, sweet, no coarse fibers. I recommend this variety for salads.

There were several varieties, but it was Caramel beans that were remembered for their sweet and juicy pods. It is delicious to eat even just like that. No fuss, just watering and weeding

I have been growing beans for a long time. Every year I remove the least liked variety, replacing it with a new one. I really liked the Caramel variety: soft and sweet. The bushes are small, easy to care for, no need to tie them up. Fruited beans until frost. I will definitely plant it next year.
