This is a very tasty variety. The later crop(s) tend toward disease, and are thus not especially useful for canning, but the early crops are excellent for that purpose. For fresh eating, very fine all summer. No problem with germination in 60 degree soil--a little touchy in cool soil. Grown it five different years--in terms of productivity, three excellent, one very good, one fair. |

I love how easy it is to see and pick yellow beans amongst the green leaves! This variety is much more tender and tasty than Roc'Dor. It produces like crazy as long as you keep picking it. We have to provide a grid support for the bushes because the beans get heavy and the winds are hard here. |
