I let one plant grow the beans left alone and they got 3 to 4 feet long (I didn't eat any of them so don't know how they taste that long - some of them curled up and made a nice yo-yo for awhile. I showed that off to some gardeners and we got some laughs using the the 4 ft bean pods as yo-yo's

I will grow them again when I can find the beans as they are not sold around here anymore as the Asian seeds from Ferry Morris aren't sold around here anymore.
John do youj want some for this year?
I'll be happy to send you some if I can find them the ones I planted were from last year.

No charge or sse just send me a pm if you do
