Overall Taste Yield Ease	Chesterfield, Virginia, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
This variety impressed in 2017. Pods were long, straight, and held pretty well on plant before getting too plump. Yields were on the high-end and I got a good 3-4 weeks of picking before quality and yield started deteriorating. Plants were sturdy and never toppled over as is sometimes the case with bush beans.
