A small pot of simmering Flageolet beans, a sprinkling of sage and salt, and a generous helping of good olive oil topped with freshly picked and sautéed Chanterelles, crispy French shallots, and a squeeze of lemon heaped on a warmed baguette (or those sourdough loaves you've all learned to make!). The perfect sensory end to a busy harvest season. The Flageolet, a close relative of the Hungarian rice bean, which was grown on private estates to feed the European nobility during the winter months, was introduced for the International Paris Exposition in 1878 by French gardener, Chevrier of Bretigny. \u003cbr\u003eThe shelled beans can be eaten (and celebrated!) in their semi-dry stage as a shelly bean, and when they are fully dry. Reserved, as William Woys Weaver so aptly states, for elegant and sophisticated cooking (think cassoulet, crostini, risotto...), Flageolets are intensely creamy, hold their shape when cooked, and cook quickly. But, don't let that stop you from eating them on toast or by the spoonful! The plants themselves are compact and\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eloaded\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ewith slender, long green pods (8-10 seeds\/pod) that remain a light green even when fully dry. The seeds are a mix of light green and off-white and generally cook up cream-colored. As you may have sensed from our exuberant and lengthy description, these beans are a celebration unto themselves. \u003cbr\u003eDelicious and easy as \"\u003cstrong\u003eBOB\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (beans on bread, a staple in our world): simply simmer (shelly or dried) in salted water until soft, quickly pan-fry with fresh sage, thyme (or rosemary), a little garlic, and lots of olive oil! Adding fresh tomato chunks at the very end will add to your delight! Adding roasted tomatoes to the top...!!!\u003cbr\u003eTry This!: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ranchogordo.com\/blogs\/recipes\/flageolet-beans-with-lemon-dressing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFLAGEOLET BEANS WITH LEMON DRESSING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e75-80 days.

Beans can produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set and maturity.\u003cbr\u003eBeans prefer well-drained warm soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans prefer warm soils and may rot at lower temperatures.
