Dragon Tongue Beans

I love these heirloom beans! They are big and fat and tender. Not to mention stringless and can be left on the vine for harvesting as shelled beans. Last year we tried to grow blue lake green beans and oh my gosh what a pitiful harvest that was. I ended up buying beans from a local farmer to freeze for winter use (not organic, but at least local grown). The plant seems impervious to disease and even pest resistant - amazing and truly a carefree growing plant. The only work when you grow these beans is harvest time, holey moley they will keep you busy.
