| LONG BEANS
(Vigna unguiculata) A staple crop of East Asia, where they have been grown for centuries. After frost, when soil has warmed, sow 1-2 inches deep, 4-6 inches apart in rows where plants are to grow. Vigorous climbers need full sun and a trellis or other support. Takes heat and humidity better than common beans; recommended for the Deep South. Keep the pods picked to maintain production. Drought tolerant, but more productive with adequate moisture. The pods are stringless and tender, and taste best sauteed (not boiled). I would not go one season without them! 25-35 seeds per packet.

Red-Seeded Asparagus Bean
75 days. A Chinese heirloom bean that is actually the same species as Cowpeas. Very long pods grow to 24"! Very tender and tasty, no strings as in many beans, huge yields on 10' vines. Very resistant to hot, humid conditions, and insects. Grows in almost any conditions, great for the South. Pick for snap beans when 12”-14” long; great stir-fried! The 'Vigna' family are the only beans to do well all summer here. They have small seeds.
