(Non-GMO, Heirloom)
When a variety is named "Top Crop," it has a lot to live up toβand this bean definitely delivers. An All-America Selections winner, the Top Crop Bush Bean is famous for its incredible productivity and its ability to produce a massive "flush" of beans all at once. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this heirloom to anyone looking for a dependable, easy-to-grow green bean that doesn't require the extra work of staking or trellising.
The pods are round, 6 to 7 inches long, and completely stringless with a beautiful dark green color. Any bean that can go from seed to table in under 50 days while standing up to the heat is a gardener's dream, and Top Crop fits that bill perfectly with its early maturity and robust disease resistance. Because it is so prolific and the harvest comes in a concentrated window, it is a dream variety for homesteaders who want to get their canning and freezing done in one big weekend.

Top Crop Bush Bean Planting Instructions:
1. Timing: Wait until the soil is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Top Crop loves the sun and warm soil to get off to a fast start in the spring.
2. Sowing: Plant in full sun. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and space them 3-4 inches apart in rows. Since these are bush beans, they will grow into sturdy, self-supporting plants.
3. Care: Provide consistent moisture, especially during the flowering and pod-setting stage. To keep your plants healthy, avoid touching the foliage when it is wet.
4. Harvesting: Harvest pods when they are 6-7 inches long and smooth. Frequent picking during the harvest window will ensure you get the most out of your "Top Crop."
5. Pests & Disease: Keep an eye out for Aphids and Bean Beetles. Top Crop is naturally resistant to several viruses, making it a very "safe" bet for gardeners who have struggled with disease in the past.
