Overall Taste Yield Ease	Clinton, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 103 - 123 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
I have grown Marengo Romano pole beans almost every year for the past 10 years. I plant them along with 2 other varieties on 3 teepees made from 8 foot 2x2s. Production is constant from mid season until frost. The flavor is good and similar to green Romano varieties. I plant them mainly because the beans are easy to find amongst the foliage due to being yellow. Production is not huge, but is satisfactory for my needs. Germination can sometimes be spotty in cool springs.
