These bush beans are very easey to grow. Had no problems with bugs or diseases. They grew fast, they were plentiful and produced beans for an extremely long period of time. These beans were first planted by me in 2008 and I will definitely plant them in 2009. Finally, they were flavorful.

Iowa, United States
Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: Less than 6 hours per day

I had higher expectations of this bean, as it didn't have the same great fresh flavor as the pole version and was less productive. They also would get stringy faster then it's pole counterpart. I probably will not grow these beans again.
