For several years, Rattlesnake was my favorite. I plant some different varieties each year and will say Fortex is a new favorite. Kentucky Wonder is always a good canning bean, too. I've found what I enjoy best as fresh is different from what I like to can. Fresh, I like the Rattlesnake and Fortex. I like a more "rounded" bean for canning and Kentucky Wonder, or some of those off-shoots are really good for that. Lori
