Yard Long Beans

I am very excited to report we may have a great hot weather summer crop now.
This is our first picking of yard long beans and they seem to be doing very good so far.

We can only grow those at the hottest end of the poly tunnel, but they are worth the effort. Nice tasting beans.

 

Very cool indeed. What's the actual name of the variety?

 

Loved your Video. Hope my yard long beans do as well. Will you be saving seeds for next year?

 

When I saw the pictures of those beans, the first thing that popped in my mind was 'Jack and the Bean stalk'! They do look like they would be easier to pick than the regular beans since they hang right out where you can see them and it looks like you are going to have a great harvest too.

 

Picked a big pan full again today:

 

I'm sure looking forward to the results of your 'cooking-and-eating' tests!!!!!!!
