Bush bean 'Cogito'
Bush bean 'Cogito'
Phaseolus vulgaris
A clear favorite among beans, completely string-free and very delicious! Eat cooked. Can be blanched and frozen. Thrives best in well-drained, loamy and moisture-retaining soil in a sheltered position. Water abundantly. Harvest regularly, don't let the pods get too big, about 5-6 mm thick is enough.
Pre-cultivation: May - mid June. 2-3 weeks before planting out after the last frost. Pre-cultivation is recommended especially for more northern regions. Sow 1 seed per cell. Keep warm (+25ºC). Keep moist. After sprouting, place in a light place at room temp.
Direct sowing: Do not sow until soil temp. is 15 °C. Rinse the seeds thoroughly before sowing. Water in the furrow. Then keep moist. Covering with fiber-cloth can keep the birds from getting at them first.
