I've been harvesting these for a few weeks - the name on the package is Fagiolo Rampicante/
Meraviglia di Venezia.
Couldn't find an exact match in PF. Very prolific Italian yellow snap bean.
I thought it was a bush bean but the vines are 6' high and looking to climb. Very tasty as we had them with our meal yesterday.

Those look delicious - I love Italian-type beans! Where did you find that variety, if you don't mind my asking? I've been thinking I should grow some yellow ones to go with the purple Italian pole beans that I've been growing for years, and that certainly is an interesting name that they have. Thanks for sharing the photo!

PS Thanks Farmerdill - now I know what to look for!

Hey Sandy,
These beans are really nice! I got them from www.gourmetseed.com.
Flip
That's a great supplier and they have lots of interesting and unusual varieties that you normally can't find here. I've ordered from them for a couple of years now.
Flip and GreenhouseGal - thanks! I can't wait to check out GourmetSeed, about all there is to do here in N. Michigan right now in terms of gardening is read seed catalogs (and web sites, of course) and plan next year's garden... although I do still have some lettuce and cabbage growing under Reemay, we're having a very unusual fall here! (and I'm planning on putting up some type of hoop house next spring so hopefully I'll still be harvesting all kinds of stuff next year at this time)
Sandy
I have some lettuce - that self-seeded - and some spinach and beets in the garden but they're not doing much. Seed catalogues are our assurance that spring WILL come - eventually!
Flip, while there are three listed Plant Scout vendors for Marvel of Venice/Meraviglia di Venezia but no photos. It could use some.
FD - I loaded a pic at one of the PF listings but wasn't sure if I should put the same one at the other. Is that ok to do?
You are fine. They are duplicate entries so admin will combine them at some time. Happens when cultivars have multiple names. Appreciate the photo, keep them coming.
