Black Turtle Bush Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Black Turtle') are a classic and versatile variety of beans that have been cherished by gardeners and cooks for generations. Known for their rich, earthy flavor and dark, glossy appearance, these beans are a delightful addition to any garden and a staple ingredient in many culinary creations.

Characteristics

Black Turtle Bush Beans are distinguished by several key characteristics that make them popular among home gardeners and farmers:

  1. Bean Color: As the name suggests, these beans are a glossy, jet-black color when mature. The deep hue adds an appealing visual contrast to garden beds and culinary dishes.

  2. Bush Growth Habit: Black Turtle Bush Beans are compact and bushy in their growth habit, making them suitable for small gardens, containers, and raised beds. They do not require support structures like trellises.

  3. Flavor and Texture: These beans are known for their rich, earthy flavor and tender texture. When cooked, they have a creamy interior that pairs well with various seasonings and ingredients.

  4. Nutritional Benefits: Black Turtle Bush Beans are a nutritious addition to your diet, providing a good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are particularly rich in folate, iron, and potassium.

Growing Requirements

Cultivating Black Turtle Bush Beans is a straightforward process, and they are an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels of experience. Here are key considerations for successful growth:

  1. Soil: Plant Black Turtle Bush Beans in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Amending the soil with compost or organic matter can enhance the bean's growth.

  2. Sunlight: Ensure that your beans receive full sun exposure, preferably at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, to promote healthy growth and maximize yields.

  3. Planting: Sow the seeds directly into the garden bed or container after the danger of frost has passed in your region. Plant the seeds about 1-2 inches deep and space them 2-4 inches apart in rows or blocks.

  4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Beans require regular, even watering, especially during dry spells.

  5. Mulching: Applying a layer of organic mulch around the plants helps conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain even soil temperatures.

  6. Harvesting: Black Turtle Bush Beans are typically ready for harvest 60-70 days after planting. Harvest the pods when they are still tender and before the beans inside become too mature and tough.

Culinary Uses

Black Turtle Bush Beans are renowned for their versatility in the kitchen. Here are some culinary ideas to explore:

  1. Steaming and Boiling: Steam or boil the beans until they are tender, then serve them as a nutritious side dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper for added flavor.

  2. Bean Salads: Incorporate cooked and cooled Black Turtle Bush Beans into salads for added texture and flavor. Combine them with fresh vegetables, herbs, and vinaigrette for a refreshing dish.

  3. Soups and Stews: These beans add heartiness and flavor to soups, stews, and chili recipes. They absorb the flavors of the broth or sauce they are cooked in, enhancing the overall dish.

  4. Sautéing: Quickly sauté the beans with garlic, onions, and your favorite spices for a flavorful side dish or a tasty addition to pasta and rice dishes.

  5. Freezing: If you have a surplus of beans, blanch them briefly and freeze them for later use in your favorite recipes.

Black Turtle Bush Bean seeds from Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply offer a delightful and nutritious addition to any garden or kitchen. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a beginner, these beans are a rewarding choice, providing not only a bountiful harvest but also a rich, earthy flavor that enhances a wide range of culinary creations.

Last a while. Will be buying more toys soon.
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Best dog toy I have ever bought. I have three dogs, two at the time I bought this toy. It took them over a year to break through the first layer. The flower comes off first so be careful your dog doesn't swallow it. It still has the second layer so it still looks like a cactus. No stuffing to clean up when they tear into it, which makes it far less messy than other toys. One of my dogs is obsessed with fetch so I use it like a ball inside. The oval shape makes it hard to ensure when it bounces that it will bounce straight. It's bounced into walls and other stuff that I wasn't intending it to hit. Not much of a squeak so I can let them play with it for hours and I don't get annoyed with the noise. Great toy that lasts a while.

Nice Value
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Very cute! Its soft and feels like it is well made. It is a heavier toy and a tougher one. Not a plush toy. I will order again for our older dogs. Nice value for sure!

Great toy for our best boys!
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
You can never go wrong with BarkBox toys and this was no exception. Our dogs like toys that have squeakers and that they can tear into. This style of toy fits the bill. The design is cute as well. I’ve had this in the house for months and, while it’s definitely seen better days, it’s still intact and they haven’t gotten to the inner layer. (Not for want of trying.) The perfect type of toy for our fur babies.

Survives 7 months so far.
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
It is still intact after nearly 7 months of constant play. My blue heeler normally destroys toys in just a few weeks. Consuela has exceeded expectations of survival with an extremely chewy, destruction prone dog.

Short-lived but much enjoyed as a chew toy
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I bought two of these for my "granddogs" in the size for Large dogs. The German Shepherd-mix stole the one intended for the border collie-mix and had both toys halfway destroyed within a day--I'm pretty sure they didn't survive much longer after that. Much enjoyed! Maybe I should've bought the Extra Large size, because the Large barely fit in her mouth and she wanted to play tug-of-war, so there wasn't much for me to grab onto. Then the border collie wanted in on the action (she's older, so she needed help tugging!) but there wasn't enough material for her to grab onto without accidentally sinking her teeth into me instead.
