Easy Math:
basic information
If you are looking for a green bean that practically preps itself, meet the Slenderette! True to its name, this bush variety serves up tasty, slender, dark green pods that are famously stringless—meaning you can skip the tedious snapping step and head straight to the kitchen. They are incredibly crisp and sweet, making them the ultimate "garden-to-mouth" snack, though they truly shine when lightly sauteed in garlic butter or tossed into a fresh summer salad. Best of all, they tend to look flawless and uniform, so you get gourmet-market quality right from your own backyard patch.

How To Grow
GROWER TIP: You can try soaking bush bean seeds in water for a few hours before planting to speed up germination, though it’s not strictly necessary. Plant them in well-drained soil with full sun, starting indoors in pots or directly outdoors when temperatures are consistently above 60°F, and rest easy knowing bush beans grow compactly without needing stakes or poles, unlike their pole bean cousins. Keep the soil consistently moist, watch for pests, and pinch off beans regularly to encourage healthy plants and a bountiful harvest.
