Asparagus Beans

This year I got a screaming deal on some asparagus bean plants and I decided to plant them. I read up on them a little bit and the first thing I saw was that they're very easy to grow, I was sold!

Well, in spite of ferocious winds and excruciating heat, I was able to get a lot of asparagus beans growing in my garden this year. They're kind of freaky looking, they look a little bit like snakes winding their way down the plants, but they're delicious. They taste like a cross between edamame and a black eyed pea.



They grown about 20 beans in a pod and can grow over a foot long. The little guy on the left was picked a little bit early and even the longer ones were almost a little bit early. I highly, highly recommend planting these guys next year if you want yummy beans that are easily grown.
