Asparagus bean seed

Asian pole bean that has a taste similar to fresh asperagus . It grows up to 2 foot long . It is tender and good to eat raw or steamed . This has become one of my favorites because it seems to be resistant to bean beetles . It is also long bearing, providing an long season for farmers market CSA or home table use . Asperagus beans are easy to grow , though you will need to provide a trellis to support the vines .
