HORTINOVA Inc.
NECKARGOLD - Yellow Climbing Bean
Phaseolus vulgaris
- Early to mid-season maturity.
- Golden-yellow climbing bean variety with long, tender stringless pods.
- Pod length: ~20–25 cm, smooth and uniform.
- Excellent flavor with a sweet, buttery taste and crisp texture.
- High-yielding vines — ideal for trellises, poles, and vertical garden setups.
- Great for fresh eating, steaming, sautéing, pickling, and freezing.
- Open-pollinated seeds.
- Natural, untreated, non-GMO seeds.
When to start:
- Direct sow outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and soil is warm (≥ 15°C / 60°F).
- In cool climates, sow late May to early June.
How to sow:
- Sow seeds 2–3 cm (1") deep.
- Place seeds 10–15 cm (4–6") apart in rows or around a support structure.
- Space rows 60–90 cm (24–36") apart if row planting.
- If planting at a teepee or trellis, plant 4–6 seeds per pole.
- Keep soil moist until germination (7–12 days).
Tip: Do not start climbing beans indoors; they dislike transplanting and perform best direct-sown.
A. THIN
Thin to one plant per spot if multiple seeds were sown together.
B. PLANT OUT
Only applies if you pre-sprouted seeds: transplant very gently once true leaves appear, disturbing roots as little as possible.
C. EXPOSURE
Full sun: 6–8+ hours/day.
D. TEMPERATURE
- Optimal growth: 18–28°C (65–82°F).
Avoid sowing in cold, wet soil—beans may rot.
E. SUPPORT
Provide sturdy support 2–2.5 m (6–8 ft) tall:
- Bamboo teepees
- Vertical trellis or netting
- Poles or string trained upward
Train vines by gently wrapping around supports.
F. PRUNING
- Not required.
- Remove damaged or diseased leaves if needed.
Pinch tips only if plants outgrow supports.
G. WATER
- Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Water deeply 1–2 times/week, more in heat.
Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease—water at base.
H. FEED
- Beans fix their own nitrogen — avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers.
- Before planting, amend soil with compost.
Side-dress with balanced organic fertilizer once at flowering if needed.
I. PROTECT
Common issues:
- Slugs/snails at early stages → hand pick, traps, barriers
- Aphids → prune infested tips, spray with water or insecticidal soap
- Bean beetles → pick by hand, use row covers early season
- Powdery mildew → improve air flow, avoid wetting foliage
Mulch to retain soil moisture and reduce weeds.
When to harvest:
- Begin when pods are full length but still tender—typically 60–75 days after sowing depending on variety.
- Pick every 2–3 days to encourage continuous production.
- Avoid letting pods mature and bulge heavily — this slows new pod formation.
How to harvest:
- Use two hands to avoid damaging vines; pinch or cut pods off.
For dry beans, allow pods to turn tan/brown and dry on the plant before harvesting.
🌟 Success Tips
- Rotate bean beds yearly—avoid planting where beans & peas grew last year.
- Beans appreciate warm soil, steady water, good air flow, and strong support.
- Frequent picking = heavy yields.
Let customers speak for us
We grow several varieties of various colours of tomatoes, and the contrast of these tomatoes with other colours is fantastic. We've had a very long season with our plants, excellent disease resistance, great flavour.
This review applies to all of the seeds I purchased from Hortinova - beautiful tomatoes, good disease resistance and excellent production. Our field season extended to 10 weeks. We've had comments of excellent flavour from our customers as well, highly recommend any Hortinova seed.
This tomato is good taste tomato. Small red round tomato. Bigger then cherry tomatoes but smaller then regular one. I like it. Perfect for salads and fresh eating. Ordered seeds for next season.
2nd time ordering. Very satisfied with qualify and result. Thank you
BALCONY YELLOW F1 - Hybrid Cherry Tomato Seeds
Delivered very fast, packed very good, in professional condition and quality. Thanks
We will see what they are like this summer.
Type crimson de bonne grosseur avec une superbe uniformité et très hâtif. Un des premiers prêt en saison. Semences très petites et peu nombreuses. Goût très sucré et chaire croquante. Chair passant du rose au rouge en cours de saison. Les plants sont forts et très vigoureux avec des grosses feuilles.
Vigueur des plants impressionante avec des fruits résistants aux fissures et aux dommages. Très bonne conservartion et goût très sucré lorsque les nervures deviennent orange. Peu être récolté lorsque les nervures sont vertes également. Cavité des semences très compacte et petite laissant beaucoup de chair.
Melon qui fond en boûche avec un goût se rapprochant du melon miel et du cantaloup à la fois, très sucré. Faire attention aux irriguations lorsque le melon devient mature car il peut fendre au champs. Très odorant.
Avec son apparence côtellée, son très gros calibre et ça couleur rose, cette tomate se démarque des autres sur les tablettes. Variété plus résistante à la pourriture apicale que la plus part des autres tomates roses. Bon ensemble de résitance aux maladies également.
Tomate noire dont les faces qui ne sont pas exposé au soleil passent du vert au rouge lorsque mature donnant un aspect unique aux fruits. Charactéristiques similaires à la Barrio avec un goût superbe sans acide. Les clients l'on adoré.
Superbe adaptabilité et excellente résistance aux maladies. Fruits uniformes qui ne fendent pas, bonne conservation. Ajoutez à cela un goût unique avec une légère acidité et une pointe sucré.
