Bean, Lima/Bush - Thorogreen seeds
Description
Description
These Thorogreen Lima Bean seeds produce a high-yielding heirloom variety that loves higher temperatures. Plump, light green pods grow at the top of a compact plant for easy harvesting. Both fresh and dried beans have a smooth, buttery flavor. When eating fresh, be sure to cook them, as raw beans are toxic. This compact bush-type plant spreads wider than green beans, so give them room to grow.
Thorogreen Lima Bush Bean seeds are ideal for organic vegetable gardeners aiming to grow home-consumed beans in limited space. This variety is perfect for organic farms, community gardens, and home gardens with a focus on sustainable cultivation. The heat-tolerant nature makes it suitable for planting in summer conditions, especially in warmer USDA hardiness zones.
They are suitable for gardeners who want to grow fresh, organic lima beans for home cooking, canning, or freezing. The compact growth habit makes them particularly well-suited for small-plot gardening, urban gardening, or container gardening for budget-conscious growers.

Safe Seed Pledge
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
