At 54 days to harvest, Tavera Filet delivers speed without sacrificing quality. The bush growth habit means no trellising needed, just simple spacing of plants 1 inch apart in rows 24 inches across. Direct sowing after the last frost into warm soil (65°F minimum, ideally 70, 85°F) gets these beans growing fast, and successive sowings every 7 to 14 days ensure a continuous supply of tender pods through the season.
Tavera Filet Bush Beans are harvested young and eaten as tender green beans, either fresh from the garden or prepared in simple stovetop preparations where their delicate texture shines. The filet style means slender pods that cook quickly and pair well with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
