Pros: Easy to grow, Fast and good producer. Seed stores well.
Cons: Gets tough to eat if left to grow too long.
I have always had great success with these beans. Only takes a few beans left to grow to full length, and die on the vine to create next years crop. Very prolific producer, and very tasty! I like to use a sturdy bean tee-pee structure with many poles to support them, and keep the vines separate for as long as I can. Got mine from a friend, and never had to buy. I grow lots every year!

Pros: They are easy to grow, huge harvests, black aphids don’t phase them.
Cons: Need a trellis, unless you have a bush variety, and they may attract fruit beetles(at least in my garden.)
These are amazing in stir-fries and curries. Easy to throw in the wok with a bit of peanut oil, garlic, ginger and oyster sauce for a fast side dish. Great with ping tung aubergine stir fried and with tofu added to the aforementioned side dish for a main dish over rice. We have grow these several times. I just found a bush type that I’m trying out this year. Can’t wait to see how they do.
