Boucher Family Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Dwarf beanPhaseolus vulgarisBoucher familyFabaceae. Bushy dwarf bean that produces light green pods and lilac-pink flowers. Can be eaten fresh or dry. It was given to us by Mr. René Paquet. The latter would have received it from the hands of Gérard Parent, of Saint-Joseph-de Beauce, who would have had it from Gabrielle Roy, of Saint-Jules. It was at the beginning of the century, in 1914, that the Boucher de Beauceville family began to cultivate them. Where they got them from, we'll never know!;
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Avoid handling or removing weeds when the beans are wet to prevent the spread of disease. When the seedlings have started to sprout, ensure that the plants do not lack water until the first true leaves appear.
