Overall Taste Yield Ease	Strafford, New Hampshire, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
Planted these for the first time this year. Despite a hot, dry summer, these were an outstanding performer. I have never seen a bean produce so prolifically. We had to pick them every couple of day right up until October 10th. They are stringless, unless you let them get old and bulging with seeds. Flavor is great. They keep in the fridge for long tome and they freeze well if you blanch them.
