Asian pole bean that has a taste similar to fresh asperagus . It grows up to 2 foot long . It is tender and good to eat raw or steamed .
This has become one of my favorites because it seems to be resistant to bean beetles . It is also long bearing, providing an long season for farmers market CSA or home table use .
Asperagus beans are easy to grow , though you will need to provide a trellis to support the vines .

All of our seed offerings were grown here. We have been seed savers for 20 years. Our seeds are packaged in original art packets, hand folded with 100% recycled paper. Instructions for growing are not on the packs but are on the listing under seed template. Books on gardening as well as many catalogs carry general information on growing seeds. I am available by e-mail or phone to answer any growing questions as well. You won't find that service from many sources of seeds . The shipping on our orders also includes the processing and handling charges which is also less or equal to most seed companies. Remember we hand pack each order and drive from the farm to the post office to ship your order. I are not a big seed company, in fact not a company at all. I am homestead gardener.
