The shells are soft so are easy on the fingers.<br/><br/>The harvest felt light this year and, if this were typical, probably not worth growing.

We grew a single 35 ft row of these. <br/><br/>This is a pretty productive pole bean variety. The beans fall out easily of the dried pods. It needs a tall trellis as, in my experience, it can grow to 8+ ft. The beans are creamy white with dark purple speckles, with a few pods of dark purple beans with white speckles. A hearty bean, good in soups, etc. <br/><br/>#gardening #GrowYourOwn<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/323/988/940/844/424/original/152c665cc6dee694.jpg"> 2025-10-05T22:50:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0ym9upym93mv3u0jl4eml7ec2mljlpuatvhpyut5j6vdnlw48qpczyre8e7l9k0c28h7suxmpyarx6hv6atxl4uavm4v8f32fcyfjldecutk8zhh Grapes -&gt; raisins <br/><br/>#gardening #GrowYourOwn<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/174/927/028/793/186/original/59a1649501fbb112.jpg"> 2025-09-09T14:59:44Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs89lmw6zcal2a9kgcwppjdmfnyssc89kw0w0nammeg4why34qp7dgzyre8e7l9k0c28h7suxmpyarx6hv6atxl4uavm4v8f32fcyfjldecukg4kzp Since everything is still coming up peaches, peach salsa!
