Three foot long string beans
I bought a couple of packs (from hd) of an oriental bean i grew a few years ago which gave huge beans from an extremely handsome vine. Has anyone else grown these? I grew 6 vines and expect to have string beans all summer !

I grow them every year. They are very tasty.

Re: Three foot long string beans
I know I've used the same pack for at least 3 seasons before with a decent germ rate.

Re: Three foot long string beans
Are they the same as Asparagus Beans (Yard Long Dow Gauk). I'm planting my beans today.

Re: Three foot long string beans
Beans are almost always open pollinated because of their flower structure; I wonder if these are? I have always saved seeds from my plants despite growing different varieties in the same bed; I've only repurchased when something happened to my stash or I had a short season thus the 1 plant I designated as the "propogater" didn't have time to fully develop viable seeds.

Re: Three foot long string beans
I grow thai #2 long beans and red noodle beans which are red even when cooked. they love the heat and the beans get bigger as it gets hotter, I think they are better than string beans, both in taste and heat tolerance (summer time veggies in zone 11b).
