Kentucky Blue Pole Beans

4 out of 5 (Overall Rating)

I grew these green pole beans up a 7-foot high mesh trellis that is eleven feet long. Sown May 28th, with a soil temperature of 59 F. Despite a cooler than typical summer these beans produced very well—10.5 pounds of 6-7 inch thick beans! They were thinned to about six inches between plants three weeks after sowing and climbed the trellis with very little help from me. Very good flavour; not quite as "beany" as other pole beans I've grown like green Romanos. If I had a larger garden with more trellis space I would try two or three sowings about two weeks apart, from late May until late Jun, for multiple crops. I would definitely grows this variety again. Thanks to WCS for excellent seed quality that germinated very well under light row cover. . -Doug
