Customer Reviews
I tried these because I wanted to see the beans easier. My wife and I were not prepared for the sheer abundance. I trellised a 7' row and I have harvested six gallon size bags in 10 days of picking, picking every other day. Steamed with a touch of butter and seasonings they have a delightful texture and an irresistible taste. We have had to gift a bunch of them to friends who loved them as well.
Our honeybees love the flowers and the vines were robust and healthy loaded with beans but as our title says, terrible taste and texture.
