GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

START SEEDS OUTDOORS

In spring once weather is warm and night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C), plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Erect strong stakes, tripod poles, or trellis at planting time to support vines. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart along a trellis, or if planting around tripods or stakes, plant 4 to 6 seeds 4 inches from each pole, thinning seedlings to 3 best plants.

GROWING NOTES

Tender, crispy beans are an easy, reliable crop to grow, but don’t plant too early, as weather under 50°F (10°C) prevents good germination. If first sowing comes up unevenly, replant right away; new seedlings catch up quickly. Birds are often attracted to young bean seedlings, so watch carefully and protect with netting or floating row covers if necessary. Avoid cultivating plants or picking pods when plants are wet.

HARVEST AND USE

Musica vines are heavy bearing, so harvest often: the more you pick, the more beans plants will produce. Harvest when beans are 7-9 inches long, but before seeds are swelled in pods. Slice up and cook just until tender to enjoy their sweet nutty flavor and juicy texture. Serve hot, or let the cooked beans cool, then toss with herbed vinaigrette for a delicious green bean salad.

I'm a fan of Renee's seeds but this Spanish Musica Pole Bean didn't seem to work for me. I have attempted a couple times so far: 1st time I chalked it up to starting too early maybe it was too cold, second time it was warm favorable weather in larger container 4 germinated but two got stuck in their hard shell so only 2 are successful. Currently on my attempt #3 in the starting container indoors buried a little more shallow to get better airflow, because all the rest of the 15+ or so seeds I have sown are either mushy or disintegrated.
For Reference (photo) I also bought the royal purple bush bean from Renee as well, they were started before these spanish musica seeds and they are thriving and already producing multiple sets of leaves.

I bought a package of these beans about five years ago and forgot after planting that you harvest and eat them when they are flat. They were still delicious as a full-size bean. I have planted them each year since from saved seeds and eat them at every stage. They are a bean I will not go without in my succession planting. We love them.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear how much you love the Early Spanish Musica beans and that they've become a staple in your garden. We love them too! Happy gardening!
