Neutral	melody	On Apr 16, 2004, melody from Benton, KY (Zone 7a) wrote: I've not had enough of a harvest to determine if this is a good cultivar for West KY. They do not like wet feet and I have lost portions of my crop to flood several years. The beans are in small flat pods and hold about 6 to 8 seeds.
