Bush Snap Bean, Pisarecka Zlutoluske (Organic)
Phaseolus vulgaris. Yellow Pods. 50 days.
Heirloom wax bean with delicious, round, yellow pods on sturdy plants. Beans can be picked small or large, as the wonderful flavor and nice yellow color develop when the pods are young. Super productive, early maturing, and cold tolerant variety that is perfect for the Pacific Northwest. Probably a Czech variety, the name translates to ‘Yellow Podded from Pisarky.’ It came our way via Seed Dreams in Port Townsend, Washington.

Direct sow 1″ deep beginning early May in rows that are 1′ apart. Thin seedlings to 3-6″ spacing. Protect early sowings from frost. Succession sowing every 3 weeks through late June will ensure continual harvest. Shell seeds from fully dry pods by hand or by dancing on pods. Winnow to clean. Test for dryness with a hammer – dry beans shatter.
Seed Saving
Some cross-pollination may occur, but beans mostly self-pollinate.

Where did you grow this variety? Canada
I’ve grown this a number of times, always super productive and nonstop harvest. plus its quite early and cold tolerant. a minor flaw is some pods rot in contact with the soil.

Its name is Czech, not Hungarian, and means yellow-podded from Pisarky, which is part of the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. So the part about “Originating in Hungary” is very unlikely to be correct, although it may have come to you via Hungary. I haven’t grown it yet but would like to if I can get some seeds. I live in Slovakia so I’m very interested in old Czechoslovak varieties. They are usually well adapted to a variety of growing conditions. Yellow podded beans are very popular here in central Europe and this looks like a good one.
