A VERY PROLIFIC PRODUCER, “FORDHOOK” LIMA BEANS HAVE BEEN A GARDENER’S FAVORITE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS! INTRODUCED IN THE 1940’S, THEY STILL HAVE THE GREAT TASTE YOU REMEMBER! THESE LIMA BEANS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR EATING FRESH, FREEZING OR CANNING.
FORDHOOK LIMA BEANS PRODUCE HEAVY YIELDS OF LARGE SEEDED PODS STUFFED WITH PLUMP AND TASTY BEANS. EACH POD IS 3-1/2” TO 4” LONG AND CONTAINS 3 TO 5 WHITE BEANS. THESE BUSH LIMA BEANS PRODUCE CROPS EARILER THAN POLE BEANS, AND REQUIRE NO STAKING.
FORDHOOK LIMA BEANS ARE VERY EASY TO GROW AND CARE FOR. WAIT UNTIL THE SOIL HAS WARMED IN THE SPRING BEFORE PLANTING. EXTEND YOUR HARVEST BY PICKING THE RIPE BEANS REGULARLY.
