{"product_id":"mexican-salmon-bean","title":"Mexican Salmon Bean","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalmon colored beans in vibrant crimson red pods grow on low-growing plants with short 3' runners. Grow this variety on a short trellis to keep the pods off the ground. You can eat the young green pods or leave them to ripen for dry bean harvest after 65-75 days. The dry beans are great cooked with rice and refried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety originates in Central America and was described as far back as 1874 by Vilmorin under the name Saumon du Mexique.

Sow directly in the ground at a depth of one inch, spaced every few inches in rows 12 inches apart. Thin to one plant every four to six inches. Consider providing a short trellis as vines can grow three to four feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeed keeping notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans are self-pollinating, though it is best to isolate different varieties of \u003cem\u003eP. vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e by at least 25 feet (we do 75 feet to be sure) to avoid unwanted cross-pollination from flying insects. For seed saving, harvest the beans when their shells have become dried and crispy on the plants. Lay out the pods in a dry, sunny place to dry down further. Shell the beans and lay out the seeds in a well ventilated place away from direct sunlight for at least another few days to a week before storing for next year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Working Theory Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42490965229806,"sku":"BN-022","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/MexicanSalmonBean2ed.jpg?v=1645475947","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/mexican-salmon-bean","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
