Overall Taste Yield Ease	Monroe, West Virginia, United States Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
A good soup bean, though taste-wise I prefer Borlotti. Also relatively easy to grow and productive as well.
