Bean 'Mr. Tung's'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mr. Tung's is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Mr. Tung's likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Mr. Tung's about 14 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mr. Tung's is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.

Mr. Tung is the name of the original grower of these beans.

Family heirloom from the West Kootenays, BC, Canada.
