Tastes well cooked or uncooked. It grows very well with potatoes and we had no pests problems at all. We received bountiful harvests and vigorous growth using direct sunlight and Miracle Gro fertilizer. Recommend staggered plantings for continuous harvests.  -  Monday, February 18, 2008 Best Bush Bean Ever Reviewed By: Robyn (Emmett, Idaho) These beans grow very easy and quick. They produce large quantities of tender long green beans. I usually got 2-3 large pickings from each plant. We froze and canned them, great all around bean. My Mom even asked where I got these from!  -  Monday, March 17, 2008 Excellent Germination and Production Reviewed By: Jeremy (Sharonville, Ohio) With a great germination rate, high production, and fantastic taste, this bean is a must try. I tend to rotate through varieties always looking for something better than the year before. Contender beans will be hard to top. Yields of better than 27 lbs of beans on a 4 x 15 bed and easily removed from the stems. I stopped picking a bit past midway through the season due to drought.  -  Wednesday, March 19, 2008 Foolproof Reviewed By: Catherine (Cherry Hill, New Jersey) I am a beginner and tried these last year. They matured fast and set a good crop. I don't have a green thumb yet, but I know that as long as I plant some of these again this year, at least I'll have some success in the garden.  -  Thursday, July 17, 2008 easy best yeild Reviewed By: Juanita (Church Hill, tennessee) These beans grew fast. Planted a pound. Had 91 quarts canned. Still have more beans to go. No blight, no rot, and sprayed for bugs once. The best bean I've used. Will plant more next year. Great taste and tender too!
