| This happened to be the variety that my local hardware store had in bulk. I figured I'd give them a try and was very happy with the results. They are a bush bean that only gets to be about 18" tall. The beans were very tasty and also canned well. The Mexican bean beetles loved these beans, but regular hand picking kept us ahead of them.
The only negative is that if the beans are allowed to get full sized, the pod tends to get tough and fibrous. But picking them when the bean fills out the pod leads to great eating. |

| This green bean is a bush variety, and a medium producer. The pods almost look like they are streaked at times. Excellent taste, I used them both fresh in stir fry's, and also canned some. They are thicker than the Blue Lake green beans which is what I grew the year before. I will definitely grow these again! |
