Broad bean ''Belorussian''.
Mid-season (90-110 days from germination to seed ripening) variety. From germination to milk ripeness 40-50 days. The plant is 80-100 cm high, branches weakly.
Beans are straight, smooth, dark green, 3-5-seeded, 8-11 cm long, 2 cm wide. Up to 6-10 beans ripen on the plant. Seeds are elongated-oval, light brown, turning brown over time. Grains are light green, with a high content of protein and sugar. Beans are fleshy, tender and juicy. In terms of caloric content, bean seeds exceed potatoes by 3 times.
Beans and seeds at the milk ripeness stage are used for canning, freezing and in cooking. In order for the harvest to be available for a long time, sowing is carried out in several stages. Sowing in open ground is carried out in late April - early May, to a depth of 5 cm. Sowing pattern 20x60 cm. Beans prefer moist, peaty-bog and heavy clay soils.
Sowing time: May.
Distance between plants: 15 cm. Distance between rows: 40 cm.
Harvesting: July, August.
Seed yield: 0.4-0.5 kg/m2.

* Obtaining your own bean seeds.
Attention! Beans are prone to cross-pollination, so when propagating two or more varieties, observe spatial isolation. Due to the limited size of the plot, the gardener often has to be satisfied with one variety for this reason. The shelf life of seeds is 10-12 years. However, good seed germination is maintained for no more than 4-5 years. Pollen of vegetable beans is carried by honey bees and bumblebees.
Harvesting for seeds begins when the lower beans turn black. The stems are pulled out and ripened in sheaves. Threshing is done manually, shelling the seeds from the valves. 30-50 g of seeds are collected from one plant.
