Other: The ‘Yard Long’ is a vining heirloom bean whose pods typically reach 1 1/2 feet in length. The pods have the capability to grow up to 1 inch per day. These beans are crisp and tender, making them ideal for steaming, sauteing, or frying, and are a staple in Southern Asian and Chinese cuisine. The red seeded variety presented here is particularly popular in Asia. Known for its nutty asparagus flavor, the beans can also be used dried. This vine thrives in subtropical conditions, performing well in hot and humid regions, yet it is also adaptable to cooler northern climates and will produce until frost. The plants are disease resistant and have gained popularity in the US market.
