I'd love to trade someone out of some Asian vegetable cultivars. Long bean the most. Near Bartlesville / Pawhuska. Have a small farm and a lot to trade. Thanks.

Are you asking about what variety of long (asparagus) bean to grow ?

I've grown "Red Noodle" before. Had it growing up an arched trellis and made long red bean pods hanging down about a couple of feet long . It's used in some Asian dishes. I didn't particularly care for the taste of them but probably wasn't cooking them right. They ended up being a magnet for aphids.

I don't know of anybody growing long bean "cultivars".

Looks like you grow in a green house/high tunnel arrangement ?

I don't have any to trade, but I grew a green, black seeded version. They're actually a cow peas Rick, and I think best in stir fry. The don't mind the heat and for a long time I got volunteers every year.

And yes, like my cow peas, they draw aphids.

Yes, don't try too hard. Add leaf and grass clippings into your soil in the fall so they break down over the winter and add nutrients to your soil for the spring automatically. Keep in mind these are usually not hybridized to look perfect in your location's environmental conditions and it is normal for them to look less than healthy for a couple of weeks in the early stages. Be patient and let them do their thing. Also be sure to have your soil tested by your local extension agent to make sure you have a good balance of the primary nutrients you should have for vegetable growing. Testing was less than $12 in my state and results are good for three to five years. It's worth it and gives you more specifics than just your pH.
