Vigna sesquipedalis

Heirloom. The yard long bean is a traditional oriental bean that never fails to impress. They are delicious, quick addition to any meal and can be snapped into short pieces. It's really around 40-50 cm long, but still a great bean for salads, snacking and dips. Pick before the beans fill out for the best flavour otherwise they tend to go a bit spongy


Planting:

Beans are best planted straight into the ground where they are to grow. Beans do not enjoy nitrogen added to the soil. In fact they will put their own in for you. They do however enjoy some organic matter in their soil. If picked often they will continue to produce until the plant is exhausted. You last planting month for runner or pole beans is Dec and for bush beans its mid-late January.



Standard packet contains approx. 25 seeds

Petite packet contains approx. 10 seeds

I love this variety, really beautiful and I grow an entire wall of those... im picking every week

Super tasty fresh or in a stir fry. A bit different from a traditional green but is super prolific. Great for canning since it doesn't turn to mush. We have also used it as a dry bean for soups and stews

Fun to Grow - I loved growing these as they grew to 32cm and I was able to use 6 or so for a good meal addition. I grew mine up a basketball hoop so they had sufficient height to grow fully. Just string the hoop and run the string down to your pot (I grew mine in a pot). They definitely thrived having that height. I have not had as good a success since moving.

Super excited about these. A few seeds looks a bit "shrinked"s, but the packet contains more seeds than stated. Hoping to get them all to sprout

I really wanted these to work - I love stir fries and enjoy eating this variety of bean. Unfortunately for me the plants seem to struggle getting established and have not had a good success rate. I think I'll give the red variety a try next time.
