The Most Popular Green Pole Bean!
Bean Kentucky Wonder
Heavy-yielding plants!
Mouth-watering pods are 9 inches long and stuffed with brown seeds!
65 days. This is the classic green-podded pole bean, gardeners' choice for generations! The reason is simple: mouth-watering flavor that just won't quit! The pods are 9 inches long and bulging with succulent brown seeds--that meaty, extra-"beany" taste that can only come from the home garden! The plants bear big crops, too, so you get plenty of beans all season long!
Many gardeners prefer pole beans for their distinctive "beany" flavor. Because they use vertical space, they free up the horizontal rows in the vegetable garden for other varieties while bearing abundant harvests. They're easier than bush beans to harvest as well. Direct-sow after all danger of frost, and for best harvest, keep sowing at 3-week intervals until late spring. For fall crops, begin in late summer and continue until a month or so before first frost date. Support the 5- to 8-foot vines on a trellis, tower, or poles spaced 3 feet apart. Pkt is 2 ounces (about 100 seeds).

awesome harvests!
the bean is kind of hard to care for but its well worth it. my mum grew it last year and about twelve plots of it gave us enough beans in one harvest to eat five meals! its well worth it for such a good yield. the only con is that the plant tends to have problems with pests that chew holes and drying.
