Teggia is a beautiful red and cream shell bean, 17 cm to 20 cm long pods. It can be picked early as a fresh shell bean, like a lima bean, or left to ripen and dry on the plant to make a supply of beautiful dried beans. Fresh beans have a delicious buttery flavour. Teggia grows on a bushy plant, free of currents and is easier to grow in northern regions than lima beans.

Cultural practices : sow the beans from mid-May to the end of July; make sure that the danger of frost on the ground has passed, as the seeds are fragile. To germinate, they need a ground temperature of at least 18 ° C, but no more than 24 ° C. Germination of seeds will be poor if they are planted too early or if the soil is too wet.

Soil : it prefers light, well-drained soil.

Spacing : space the seeds 5 cm to 8 cm in rows 50 cm apart.

Growing tips : As soon as the plants reach 25 cm high, mound them by bringing a little soil on the stems to keep them straight.

Harvest : harvest them when the plants are dry and the grains ring in the pods. The dry grains are eaten in soups or baked beans.
