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

Provider Bush Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer gardeners an early, adaptable, and highly productive green bean variety suited to a wide range of climates. Known for its dependable performance, Provider produces straight, stringless pods with excellent flavor, making it a favorite for fresh eating as well as preserving through canning or freezing. These sturdy bush plants are easy to grow and deliver consistent yields, even when planted in cooler soil.

Early, Prolific, and Adaptable:
Provider is valued for its ability to germinate in cool soil, allowing gardeners to start the season earlier than with many other bean varieties. The compact bush plants produce generous harvests of 5–8 inch pods that are straight, smooth, and free of strings. Inside the green pods, the beans themselves are purple—a unique detail that highlights this variety’s distinctive character. Provider performs well across climates, offering resilience in both cooler and warmer growing conditions.

Excellent Flavor and Kitchen Versatility:
Provider beans are known for their tender texture and rich green bean flavor. They hold their quality beautifully when frozen or canned, making them an excellent choice for stocking the pantry or enjoying fresh from the garden throughout the season.

Why Customers Love Provider Bush Beans:

  • Early-maturing plants that germinate well in cool soil
  • Reliable, prolific yields of tender 5–8 inch stringless pods
  • Green pods with uniquely purple beans inside
  • Excellent for fresh use, canning, and freezing
  • Hardy, adaptable plants suited to many climates

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, even when temperatures are still cool. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and water consistently during early growth and pod development. Provider is a true bush type and requires no trellising. Harvest beans when pods are full-sized and smooth, picking frequently to encourage continued production.
