My weird green beans (NEW PICTURE)

[Texan]

Looks like Chinese yard long beans (AKA "asparagus beans") to me.

Technically green beans, used like green beans for all green bean purposes, but definitely a far cry from Blue Lake, if that's what you were looking for.

Thank You. I confirmed your post by doing a google image search (wonderful tool that) on asparagus beans. I do appreciate it. They do taste good.

I'll agree on that, also.

I've grown them once but they "push" the limits here for growing temperatures and length of season. The flavor is great and probably more similar to snap beans than they should be.

Yard long (asparagus) beans are, after all, a separate genus and species.

I knew it had to be Asparagus beans

I started mine in the greenhouse and transplanted them in my straw bales.
Here is how they were looking today



I can't wait till mine are producing beans , Texan, I sure hope they look as great as yours do
