How to Grow Beans

Capitano Bean is a popular and versatile variety of bush bean known for its exceptional taste and rich history. These beans are a type of Phaseolus vulgaris, commonly referred to as snap beans or green beans. Capitano beans are celebrated for their tender, crisp texture and a flavor that strikes a perfect balance between sweet and earthy notes. This delectable taste makes them a favorite in various culinary dishes, from stir-fries to salads and casseroles. Historically, Capitano Beans can be traced back to traditional European bean varieties, and they have been cultivated for generations due to their outstanding taste and reliability. The pods of Capitano Beans are typically medium-sized, averaging around 6-7 inches in length. The plants themselves are compact and bushy, making them suitable for smaller garden spaces. Capitano Beans usually mature in approximately 50-55 days, making them a relatively quick-growing option for home gardeners. These beans are characterized by their vibrant green color and good disease resistance, which helps protect the plants from common bean ailments. On average, you can expect a yield of around 6-8 pounds per 10', depending on various factors such as soil quality, weather conditions, and cultivation practices. Proper spacing for Capitano Beans is typically around 4-6 inches apart in rows that are spaced about 18-24 inches apart. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun, making them a suitable choice for many gardeners looking to enjoy their delightful taste and ease of cultivation.
