Description:

This variety has been specially created to rediscover the true taste of the "cassoulet" bean. The pods contain 5 to 6 broad, flat grains, with excellent culinary and taste qualities.
Row beans offer the advantage of a very high yield. Their use is therefore recommended for small vegetable gardens and sheltered crops.

Advice Vilmorin :

Dry grains are harvested when the pods are dry, brown in colour and the leaves have fallen. Then pull out your bean feet and hang them in the shelter to dry the grains.

Culture advice:

1. Sows: Sow from late April to July, in lines 70 cm apart, 4 to 5 grains in small shallow holes (called poquets) spaced on the 40 cm line. Be careful not to bury your seeds more than 2-3 cm deep.
2. Buttage: When your bean feet are 10 to 12 cm long, lightly work the soil on the surface (biner) and then bring some soil back to the feet of your beans.
3. Paling: Ram with a pole of about 2.5 m or more easily with a rowing net or fence.
4. Harvest: Harvest grains from August to October.

Plants:

Beans like the proximity of the savory which has a protective action against aphids.
