Heritage variety-Broad Windsor beans are prolific yielders. Plants produce long 15-20 cm pods with 4-6 large, flat beans inside. This variety is also tolerant of frost and has fragrant flowers. Sow seeds when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Pick early and often to encourage production. Pick when plump and cook like peas or lima beans. This large variety will fix nitrogen in your soil, so it’s perfect for planting in the fall, harvesting in the spring, and following with nitrogen-loving crops like Brassicas, lettuce, or spinach. Fresh or dried, broad beans must be cooked before eating in order to rid them of potentially toxic alkaloids. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, or cooked like spinach. Broad beans are one of the world’s most ancient and widespread food crops. -

The Chinese Vigna can tolerate acidic soils and will require full sun. Water them often so that they don’t wilt in the sun. Due to the nature of a vine, support, such as a trellis, will be needed. Pods grow long and slightly heavy, so they will need strong support. The pods take two to three months to reach maturity, at which point they should be anywhere from 60-80 cm long. you will want to start picking them when they are 20-25 cm long. Once pods begin to reach this size, they should be harvested each day to encourage production on the vine. Vines need a trellis and reach 3 meters high. -

Asparagus Bean seeds are also known as yard-long beans. This attractive plant is botanically different from regular pole beans and bears the tongue-twisting Latin name Vigna unguiculata sesquipidalis. At first, this plant appears to grow as a bush, but when the summer heat comes along, it bursts into vertical growth with twisting vines, and purple flowers, followed by fast-growing pods that are meant to be harvested at 60-65cm (24-26”) in length. Even at that amazing size, the beans are just over 1cm (½”) thick, tender, and tasty. These beans feature prominently in Asian cuisines and are most productive in hot weather. Start indoors mid-spring, and transplant as soon as the soil warms up at the solstice. -

This is a weaving bean crop, the bush of which reaches 2 m in height and bears fruit with very long asparagus bean pods, the length of which is from 40 to 50 cm. The plant develops very quickly, and the fruits can be used like ordinary asparagus beans (for cooking first courses, scrambled eggs, and stewed vegetable goodies). At the same time, the plant, like all legumes, easily tolerates irregular watering and even drought.
