| I used burpee's bean booster when planting these and WOW! super numbers of thick larger than advertised beans. My harvested beans averaged around 7-8 inches long and were thicker than pencils yet still crunchy , flavorful and easy to chew...hence tender. No touch skinned beans here! Awesome too freeze or batter and deepfry aside from the standard preparations associated with beans. I am keeping this as my green variety string bean and highly recommend them for their quality and long harvest capabilities. |

| Iv've grown this as my standard bush green bean for years. It is a reliable producer and I don't think there are any better of this type. Having discovered French filet beans, I decreased the amount I grow of this type. |
