Maxibel beans

b54red · May 19, 2010

I've taken a liking to French/filet beans over what I call regular bush beans. I've been trying different varieties to find one that suits our climate down here and after 3 successful years with terrific production Maxibel has taken the main bean spot in my garden. They are prolific, fairly long for a filet bean and have a great flavor. They are also relatively easy to pick. They also make for an extended period unlike some of the French/filet beans I've tried in the past.
I still try a short row of a new variety of bush bean every spring and sometimes even in the fall but Maxibel is still my main cropper. I picked 4 gallons off a single 35 ft row this morning that was my 3rd picking and it looks like I'll have a good many more in the coming weeks. If anyone has any suggestions for a very tasty bush bean for me to try let me know. If you've never grown Maxibel, you might want to give it a try.
