Yellow beans are tender and once the plant starts producing it just won't stop. Still had blossoms on the plants when we had a killing frost mid-October. Very dependable variety. Never had a disease or productivity problem in the 5+ years I have been growing Rocdor. Blanch and freeze for winter use and any larger beans still will cook up tender in soups and stir-fry dishes.

Very good variety. This bean is easy to grow in raised beds. Plant as soon you can work the soil after the last killing frost in your area. Cans and freezes well. Good in sir-fry. Shows well at the fair.
