Does anyone grow these, I got the seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
It's says they grow to 18" long, I have many 22"...lets here it for the rabbit poo. ^_^
More to follow.
Chinese Red Noodle Bean
It recommends to sauteed the young beans, nothing about hull them.
We tried both, my fingers were stained purple from hulling them.
Sauteed some onion and garlic in bacon fat and a few bacon pieces.
The hulled beans were boiled in water with bacon fat, bacon pieces, chopped onion and garlic.
I enjoyed the boiled more than the sauteed, but the sauteed were tender.
Turkey salad on tomatoes, in the foreground.
The green varieties of Asparagus or Yard Long Beans were more productive for me than the red.
The reds were more suseptable to aphids and ants.
They are very delicious as snaps in southern peas
Hemental, try planting a few milkweed...I have a milkweed growing next to the beans and it is full of aphids, none on the beans, I do have some ants walking around.
I will grow these again next year.
