Algarve Climbing Flat Bean
Algarve climbing flat bean is a climbing variety with a wide, flat, deep green pod that can reach 20-25 cm in length. Thanks to its vigorous habit and long production season, it's one of the most popular flat-pod cultivars among gardeners.
The Algarve climbing flat bean Plant
Botanically it is a Phaseolus vulgaris, part of the Fabaceae family, in its climbing form which can exceed 2 meters in height, clinging to supports. The pods, up to 2 cm wide and flattened, develop abundantly all along the stem.
It is a vigorous, productive plant, capable of fruiting for several months if picked consistently, with firmer flesh than cylindrical green beans.
How to Sow Algarve climbing flat bean
Sowing takes place from May to June, next to already-prepared supports, placing seeds 3-4 cm deep, 3-4 seeds per pole, with poles spaced 40-50 cm apart.
How to Grow Algarve climbing flat bean
It needs stakes at least 2 meters tall and fertile, well-drained soil with balanced phosphorus and potassium fertilization. Regular watering during flowering and pod set is essential for wide, tender pods.
Harvest begins about 60-65 days after sowing and continues for several weeks, picking pods while still firm, before they become fibrous.
Tips for Growing Algarve climbing flat bean
Supports should be set up before sowing, guiding the plant from its earliest growth stages without having to force it later. Picking regularly, at least every 2-3 days during peak production, encourages new flowering.
Diseases and Pests of Algarve climbing flat bean
The most common threats remain anthracnose, bean rust and aphids, favored by high humidity and poor ventilation between densely planted climbing vines. Proper spacing between poles and crop rotation reduce the risks.
Properties of Algarve climbing flat bean
The flat pods are rich in fiber, vitamin C and folate, with a low calorie content. Their firm flesh also makes them suitable for longer cooking without losing structure, ideal for flavorful side dishes.
