Calypso Bean seeds - Heirloom Untreated - Kid's Gardening project - Bush bean variety. Dry to keep. Nice baked or in soups

Another heirloom bean that is delicious dried and then made as baked beans or in soups and stews (see also Arikara Yellow). Round black-and-white seeds are also called "Orca" or "Ying Yang" beans. :) They are fun to look. When they are cooked the black turns into a deep pink (much like a kidney bean) and the turns pale but the contrast in the bean is still there. This is a bush variety of bean and grows to about 15 inches. It averages 4-5 seeds per pod. Very adaptable to different growing zones. This is the cutest bean on either side of the Mississippi.

Directly sow beans outdoors after any danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Support with a fence, trellis, bamboo teepee, or corn stalk.

Annual.
Maturity: 80-90 days
Germination: 8-10 days

Our seeds are grown, then hand-packed in small batches so everyone can try heirlooms and, honestly, because maybe they are precious packages and gardens are that important.
