I have sold vegetables at the local farmer's market for three years, but grew vegetables organically for my own personal use for many years. However, I do not eat green beans often because they are not my personally favorite vegetable. So if I tried these beans, I would not be growing them for myself but for the local market which is hard to please if a grower tries something new.

For instance, nobody wants zucchini, but everybody who wants squash wants yellow Summer crookneck, yellow summer straightneck, or no squash at all. They would not try spaghetti squash. I know because I tried selling it one year. However, I have seen ads for Lazy Housewife green snap beans, and I am intrigued. It sounds time saving to grow something that can be picked in large quantities. How much are they like Kentucky Wonders? That is what the locals want--Kentucky Wonders--or something that will fool them into thinking that it is the same thing. If Lazy Housewife is not what I am looking for, what is another snap bean that will grow prolificly and look, act, feel, smell, taste, sound, and think like a Kentucky Wonder?
