OTHER: ‘Yard Long’ is a vining heirloom bean whose pods are actually 1 1/2 feet long, not a yard, but they can grow as much as 1" in a day! The edible pods are crisp & tender, & are best steamed, sauteed, or fried, especially stir fries. They are popular in Southern Asian & Chinese cuisine, & the red seeded variety we are offering is the most popular variety in Asia. The beans have a wonderful nutty asparagus flavor, & can also be used dried. This vine is actually considered a subtropical plant, so grows very well in hot & humid areas. They grow just fine in cooler Northern climates too, & will continue to produce until frost. The plants are disease resistant, & have become a popular market variety in the US.
We've got these in Red too - the Red Noodle Bean - & a ton of other bean seeds!
