We have always eaten them as a shelled Bean. Other,more experienced Bean growers,have suggested they shood taste good fresh.

Thanks so much for the package. Received my beans today.

Now I understand the hernia comments on the others thread. WOW those are big and pretty. Do you space yours at 12 or 15 inches like Zeedman said he does? I can sure see why you don't want this one to die out. Thanks again. Carol

It is finally dry enough to plant this year's beans, and I have mislaid the seed packs I so carefully bought in March! Does anyone have any spare Roma/Italian pole bean seeds? I do have Kentucky Wonder, Asparagus (yard-long) Beans, *Sicilian Chiclet Beans, *Insuk's Wang Kong Runner Beans, and Vlad's purple-podded beans, but I am sadly lacking Romas. And wax beans, if anyone has those. I'd be happy to trade Sicilian Chiclet Beans or Insuk's Wang Kong Runner Beans for some... Lynn

Thanks for the tips. The Insuk's Wang Kong beans look exactly like the scarlet emperor runner beans (plants, pods and seeds) we have in our garden right now, though the seeds may be a little smaller (haven't let any mature all the way yet). I wonder if the seeds I bought from Territorial are this strain? I'll probably give the agrohaitai beans a try... since no one mentions them here, it will be interesting to report on a new type to others.

Here are the IWK beans and the rustic trellis I built for them. I am getting my first flowers. You might see that some of the leaves look really bad. I planted last october and they grew OK, but then completely stopped growth. They did not grow at all for about 3 months. They also seem to be afflicted with something (? not sure what?) and I really thought I was going to lose them. Ever since the spring equinox we got small fresh leaves that started to sprout/grow and they are looking much better. I even got my first flowers. I am really curious if anyone has observed this apparent sensitivity to day length? I suppose for me the best would be to plant on the winter solstice? or a bit after? In case you are curious it is celery, parsley and cilantro interplanted with them.

Glad you received and are happy with the beans. We normally plant ours in groups of 3-4 seeds 4ft apart.This year I removed 4 non-productive grape vines that I had growing over a 9ft tall metal arch. I built the frame for a 12 inch(1ft x 5ft)raised garden on each side of the arch. I will plant these seeds close as I want to maximise the flowers. This Arch faces the main street down to the Puget Sound and will be visable drivers and walkers as they go by. The walkers will have the additional pleasure of seeing all the Hummingbirds. These Bean Flowers really seem to attract Hummingbirds,in fact I never saw a hummingbird until we started growing the beans.

I think I will try some in the garden and some on the south side of my house where they will get afternoon shade from a large tree. Our summers get very hot. I live at the lake so I get a lot of hummers and they will be grateful to find nectar in a "real flower" instead of the thousands of sugar feeders that are here. I will enjoy both the flowers and the beans.
