Delgado Black Mexican bean takes up little room and yield over an extended period, grow on trellis. Climber to 2 metres, green pods, black seeds. Also used as a dry bean.
How to Grow
Climbing beans as their name indicates need a structure for them to climb on. This can be anything from a wire fence, verandah or teepee made from tomato stakes, bamboo, or even sturdy sticks. They like soil rich in organic matter but they are a legume so ensure nitrogen levels are not too high. Sow your seeds below the climbing structure to give the tendrils an easy job of latching on. Ensure you do not over water them during the germination stage as this may cause rotting. Once germinated provide a good mulch later around the plant. During the growing season you may need to assist the plant with latching onto your structure.
Uses
Eat beans whole either fresh or cooked. All beans are best eaten when young and string less, this is typically between 8-12cm in length. This variety is also used as a dry bean - Allow the green pods to turn brown on the plant then harvest and using basic seed cleaning equipment such as screens, fans and buckets you can separate the seed for future use.Â
