75 days here; I started them as transplants, but they could probably be direct-seeded even North. Rampant, heavily-branched vine 8-10' tall. Bears fairly early & heavily. The pods are pale green & longer than most, 20-24" at optimal stage, real eye-catchers. They need to be harvested frequently while small (before bulges appear) since they develop strings quickly. The flavor & texture are delicate, and _very_ sensitive to over-cooking; they do not freeze well. |
