exactly what kind of bean is this?

10 years ago

So I bought some seeds on a whim and I already have them sprouting. But the seeds are only called "garden bean"...Are they the same thing as what we call green beans? Or are they technically something else? Thanks for any input! I'm new to all this haha.

What it says on the packet is Garden beans - Tenderpick - Bush, Early.

Yes they are green beans, variety Tenderpick, which is a Burpee hybrid of the old heirloom variety "Tenderpod". They are bush variety green beans rather than a pole variety, 'snap' bean just like the picture. Just Google the variety name for all kinds of info on Tenderpick.

Just for information. Tenderpick is an open pollinated variety under PVP. Seeds will come true, but are patented so only Burpee can sell them. You can save them for your own use.
