Like pole beans but don't have the space. http://www.johnnyseeds.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=beans http://www.google.com/search?client=...let+of+White+B eans&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 All sorts of beans available. Canned I buy Chick Peas, Aduki, and black Beans from Eden Organic. Yum HUMMUS do your own search. -- Bill Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA I certainly agree with the Jumbo, but my all-time favorite is a pole bean called Greasy. It's fairly common in rural Appalachia but I've never seen the see in any catalog. My seed has been grown by me and a friend's family for over 100 years.

There are at least 3 different greasy beans grown by seed savers in Western NC. All are pole beans and strong runners. The Greasy Cut short has only 4-6 beans to the pod, so they're just strung and broken in 1/2. The long greasy (my type) has 8-11 beans per pod and then there is the big greasy. It has 8-11 beans and a very thick, fleshy pod. I like to let the long greasy get very full before picking. The beans have a rich, nutty flavor and are wonderful for canning. The cut shorts make the best "leather britches". Steve |
