The Ojo de Cabra Bean Seed is an heirloom variety that can be used as both a dry shell bean and a snap bean. To enjoy its sweet flavor and smooth texture, harvest the plump, taupe colored beans early, when the pods start to plump. These distinctive beans have a "Goat Eye" stripe and are known for their sturdy vines and good yields. They can be cooked as fresh snap or shell beans, or left to fully mature for a delicious dry bean. For fresh beans, harvest after 55 days, while for dry beans, wait until the pod is dry and the bean can no longer be dented easily with a fingernail. 
DO NOT plant them too early. They will rot in cool, damp soil.
Plants reach twenty to twenty four inches in height. Its white seeds are an excellent choice for baked beans or soups. More tender and cook more quickly than Navy Beans.
To cultivate Bean Seed, Eye Of The Goat, Ojo de Cabra, plant it in warm, well-drained soil after the final frost, ensuring proper sunlight and support for climbing due to its pole bean nature. It is recommended to use a bean inoculant to boost nitrogen fixation, and to space the seeds adequately, regularly watering and harvesting the pods when mature. The name "Ojo de Cabra" translates to "goat's eye" in Spanish, referencing the unique markings on the beans.
HARVESTING
Harvesting beans is an ongoing process. You can start to harvest anytime, but gardeners usually wait until the beans begin to firm up and can be snapped. They are generally about as think as a pencil then. Dont wait too long, because beans can become overgrown and tough almost overnight. Harvest by gently pulling each bean from the vine or by snapping off the vine end, if you are going to be using the beans right away.
SAVING SEEDS
It is a suggested that you earmark a couple of plants at the beginning of the season for seed saving. Don’t pick ANY pods from them to eat - just pick the crisp brown pods at the end of the season. Don’t feed them, or water them unless it is very dry - as this can encourage leafy growth rather than pod development. There is no point in picking green pods as the seeds are not mature enough at this stage.
