Wonderful beans
Reviewed By: Stephanie (Mahomet, IL)
Planted on Mother's Day and was still picking in October. I actually planted another crop where my corn had been and have had a couple of large pickings already from it!

bounces back from deer
Reviewed By: Julia Lichty (Blairstown, NJ)
I planted these directly in my garden as soon as I received the seeds. They sprouted beautifully and quickly. After thinning them myself, some local deer decided to crop the whole row down to nubbins! I upped the watering and fertilizing, doubled up on the deer repellent, and all but one of the plants regrew, producing a great harvest of delicious, tender beans.
