This is the first year I've grown these, as I usually try to plant pole beans that don't take up as much space as bush beans. They are GREAT - thin, long, and very yummy. They may be the best bean I have grown to date.

Very slender 7" pods that stay stringless, so they offer more flexibility than other filet type beans. High yield, brown spotted seeds.
