Grow versatile, nutrient-rich beans with Black Turtle Bush Beans—an excellent choice for fresh use or drying and long-term storage.

This variety produces small, dark beans known for their rich flavor and wide use in soups, stews, and everyday cooking. Black Turtle beans are valued for their reliability, ease of growth, and ability to store well after harvest, making them a practical addition to any garden.

These seeds are 100% heirloom, non-GMO, and open-pollinated, allowing you to grow, harvest, and replant your crop season after season as part of a self-sufficient garden.

Planting Instructions

Bush beans are warm-season crops that perform best when planted in the right conditions:

  • Planting Time: Direct sow after all danger of frost has passed
  • Soil Temperature: Avoid planting in cool, damp soil to prevent seed rot
  • Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1 inch deep
  • Spacing: Plant seeds roughly 4–6 inches apart in rows spaced 24–30 inches apart
  • Sunlight: Full sun required for best growth
  • Soil Conditions: Prefer loose, moderately rich soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0–6.2)
  • Succession Planting: Replant every 2 weeks to extend your harvest window

Harvesting Instructions

Black Turtle beans can be harvested for fresh use or allowed to mature for dry storage:

  • Time to Harvest: Approximately 90 days from planting for dry beans
  • Fresh Use: Harvest early when pods are firm and filled out
  • Dry Beans: Allow pods to remain on the plant until most leaves have fallen and pods turn dry
  • Maturity Indicator: Beans inside will change from light to deep black when fully mature
  • Harvest Method: Pick pods by hand or cut from the plant once fully dried

Saving Seeds

Black Turtle Bush Beans are well-suited for seed saving due to their simple maturation process.

Set aside a portion of your crop and allow pods to fully mature and dry on the plant. Once pods are dry and brittle, harvest and remove the beans from inside.

Ensure seeds are completely dry before storing. Keep in a cool, dry place for future planting. Because beans are self-pollinating, maintaining seed purity is typically straightforward.
