Amazing! This is my first year for beans. So, I just started 20 seeds, I didn't know if I could grow, I didn't wanna waste the seeds. They started to get longer and longer with very little leaves and no beans. Then full of leaves and flowers. I'm cooking a dish for 2 for 4th time with these beans. And still coming more. If I planted all the seeds in the package, I would be in heaven! I read somewhere it was saying beans like sandy clay soil, if it's true, that's what I have. No chemical fertilizer. I got seeds from growitalian.com
