"I have been growing this bean for over 15 years now and I won't grow anything else. It is absolutely the best tasting and tenderest bean you can grow. I gave it only 4 stars because this variety has serious trouble with germination, which I will gladly accept given the quality of the end product. If you plant this variety, always sow thickly, or as I have taken to doing: germinate them indoors under contolled conditions, and transplant them to the garden when they are up and growing. Once they are germinated, the plants themselves are very strong, vigorous, and highly productive."

"These are the best beans. I planted them last year, for the first time. Wow! I cannot get over the number of beans that these plants produced! The bush variety is nice if you have limited space in your garden. Just when I thought the bean season had passsed, I got a whole new crop of beans! I couldn't believe my eyes!! I am definately going to be planting them again this year!!"

"Always plant beans three times during a growing season, mid-May, late June and the beginning of August so we have beans all summer and then to freeze for winter. This was the first time I planted this variety and the one I planted in mid-August. It has been a very high yielder and the taste is great. Have been picking beans since mid- September and hopefully until the end of October."
