Best producer in years,
March 9, 2010 Submitted byilsignoreorto
"I have grown many varieties of beans in the past years, however, this is by far the most prolific and the tastiest bean yet. Some of my vines grew up to 10 feet tall and every few days I collected hundreds of beans from my 60 poles . The beans are best when abt. 5 inches long, as they do not develope a tough string by this point. I would highly reccomend this variety to any avid gardener."

Not impressed,
August 20, 2009 Submitted byBluffGardener from Buffalo, Wyo.
"Everything in my garden was exceptional this year, but these beans just never took off. They germinated well, climbed up a nice wattle I had made for them, and then once they got a couple feet off the ground everything just stopped. They didn't die, they just stopped growing and never flowered. This is my first attempt at growing green beans in Wyoming, and it was an unseasonably moist & cool summer, but if my tomatoes are doing great then I would think an easy plant like beans would do good as well."

THE PERFECT BEAN,
August 9, 2009 Submitted byBamboo from Spring Valley, NY
"This is the first year that I planted this type of bean and I am totally shocked. The vines right now are about 12 feet high!, There are tons and tons of massive pods!, and they taste great. You should definitely try these. Just as a tip - the thinner your poles, the better your beans climb."

Best Dang Bean There Is!,
October 7, 2008 Submitted byJedediah from New York State
"I started off late for planting, but these sprung up quick, grew fast and delivered far beyond what I ever thought. I sure will be buying more. A strong plant, these, and a great taster too."

Reliable Producer,
February 9, 2008 Submitted byYzMan from Raleigh, NC
"This is an exceptionally productive bean. Fast and dependable germination and growth. It was difficult for me to keep up with the productivity of just 30 row feet. Great, old-fashion bean taste. Cans or freezes well. Pick young or deal with lots of strings."

"I was away for most of the summer and did not get these planted until early July; it was my first time trying these beans. I still got a tremendous yield and the flavor was fantastic. They produced until late September (in New Hampshire) and I was pleasantly surprised."
