Mother In Law

Mother In Law: dwarf; dry

(Phaseolus vulgaris )

NZ Heritage

This is a very unusual bean, sent to us by H.M. Dodson of Inglewood who said they use it for baked beans. It grows on a dwarf straggly fine leaved bush, which produces loads of small pods with these tiny white round seeds inside. The seeds are excellent cooked as you would dry beans ….. does anybody know more about this bean.. ? It certainly does best on good soil rather than heavy clay. (20)
