What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds provide gardeners with a time-tested heirloom known for high yields, rich flavor, and dependable performance. These vigorous climbing vines produce abundant clusters of long, smooth green pods that are stringless when picked young. Pods can reach 9–10 inches at full maturity and remain flavorful whether enjoyed fresh, canned, frozen, pickled, or dried as shelling beans. Easy to grow and adaptable to a wide range of climates, Kentucky Wonder is a top choice for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.

Heavy Yields of Classic Green Beans:
Kentucky Wonder earned its reputation as the standard pole bean thanks to its productivity. Each vine climbs readily when given support such as a trellis, fence, or pole, producing numerous pods throughout the season. When harvested at 5 inches or smaller, the beans are tender and stringless, offering excellent texture for fresh eating.

Versatile for Fresh Use or Storage:
These beans shine in the kitchen with their full-bodied, old-fashioned flavor. Enjoy them fresh as snap beans, or preserve them through canning, freezing, or pickling for long-term storage. Mature pods can also be allowed to dry and used as shelling beans, adding culinary flexibility and pantry value.

Why Customers Love Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans:

  • Classic heirloom with a long history of reliability
  • Heavy yields of 7–10 inch pods throughout the season
  • Tender and stringless when harvested young
  • Excellent for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or shelling
  • Easy to grow and ideal for trellises, fences, or pole teepees

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost once soil is warm. Provide sturdy vertical support such as a trellis or poles for vines to climb. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and water consistently during flowering and pod formation. Harvest pods frequently at 5 inches for stringless snaps, or allow them to mature fully for shelling beans.
