Bean Bush – ‘Strike’

  • Growing Temp 65°F – 85°F
  • Days to Maturity 50-55 days

Ease of Cultivation and productivity: ‘Strike’ bush beans are an early-maturing, high-yielding variety that produces straight, stringless pods. It is a resilient, easy-to-grow plant, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The beans have a crisp texture and mild flavor, ideal for fresh eating, steaming, or freezing. This variety is known for its disease resistance and ability to produce consistently throughout the growing season.

Direct Sowing: Sow ‘Strike’ bush bean seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed to at least 65°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart in rows spaced 18–24 inches apart. The seeds typically germinate within 7–10 days. ‘Strike’ beans thrive in well-drained soil with consistent watering, especially during dry spells. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. The pods are ready for harvest in 50-55 days, making it one of the quicker bean varieties to mature.

Early Sowing for Seedlings: To get an early start, ‘Strike’ beans can be started indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or small pots, keeping the temperature between 70°F – 75°F for optimal germination. Once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and the frost danger has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space the seedlings 3 inches apart in rows, and ensure they are well-watered after transplanting to establish strong root systems.

Harvesting: ‘Strike’ bush beans are ready for harvest when the pods are about 4-6 inches long, smooth, and deep green. The pods should feel firm but tender. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production, and picking the beans when they are young ensures the best flavor and texture. If left on the plant too long, the pods may become tough and stringy, so frequent harvesting is recommended for optimal quality.
