I am trying something different this year: yard long beans.

I put in a 32 foot row because I have many 16 foot tubular cattle panels. The panels are overkill but I wasn’t using them anymore. They taste like beans but do not cross with them, or anything else so I can save the seeds without worry.

They are good for the grill because they get picked at 12 inches which keeps them from falling thru the grill. I will allow most of them to dry on the vine because they can be used just like black eyed peas. Never ate them dry before so it will be an experiment. Never ate them at all yet either. This will be interesting and fun.

One of my friends, another avid gardener, grows them every year. She swears by them. She likes the red ones, so look for those if you like the green ones once you’ve tried them. :)
