I grew two seed colors of this bean this year. I did not see a significant difference between the two on size of the bean pods or, most importantly, the flavor.

This is a very large bean and requires a small change in how long they cook before getting tender. Since we like all garden beans as "green" beans, without a lot of "shelly" beans in them, we pick them while they are still green on the vines. I let a few get to the "shelly" point and found that they really don't make a "soup" bean (such as pintos) that meets our taste expectations. So, we don't plan to grow them again very soon.

I would like to thank those who helped us out with some seeds for this one.
