This is the only bush bean I've grown, and I've been very satisfied with it. It produces a good yield in a small space. We pick every other day, and 20 plants will give us 1-2 cookings for a family of 3 every week for much of the summer. These beans are relatively problem free. Only once in 5 years of growing did I get a couple of plants affected with rust. Beans are very flavorful when picked young. Plants don't take up much space and yield well. I love that they yield all summer if you keep picking.

Greensleaves is a good producer of straight, round podded snap beans. It holds its own with other cultivars, but does not stand out from the crowd.
