Overall Taste Yield Ease	Ontario, Canada Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
These grew well and quickly in our sandy, manure-amended soil. Yield was reasonably large in spite of fairly droughty conditions. However, while they were reasonably tasty I have to say I have definitely had yellow beans that I thought had much better flavour - I am going to keep looking. They also do not freeze particularly well.
