Tastier than the Top Crop green or burgundy bean I grew. Maybe because they were in shade a few hours a day, not very productive. Easy to see, can be grown fairly close together.

I love these beans, they were very productive, very good flavor and easy to identify to pick. I will definitely be growing these again next year. I will consider these my workhorse wax beans. I used them mixed with green beans and they have been a nice color and taste addition to my meals.
