Chinese Long Beans

This vigorous climbing vine produces long pods ranging from 14-30 inches.  The crisp, tender delicious pods hang in pairs and are best picked around 18 inches long.  Check the plants every day in warm weather because the beans grow very quickly; they grow slower in mild, cool weather.  The flavor of the stringless pods are more like an asparagus/bean cross instad of a pure green bean.  Cut into shorter sections and cook like regular beans but they are tastier sautéed or stir fried. Vines can reach 8-10 feet long, provide strong tall trellises or tepees.
