I am very late in responding to this thread, but want to add to slow to get going, and need heat. The asparagus beans do need a fence or trellis and need some
help to start climbing. This is a pest-free bean vine in our experience. The
Mexican bean beetles don’t seem to be attracted to them. Christine Burkholder From:

On Behalf Of Pam Twin Oaks I second everyone who pointed out that yard long beans
(asparagus beans) are slow to get going, and need heat. We are just now getting
sensible quantities from ours in central Virginia (zone 7). We like the
Purple-podded Asparagus Bean from Southern Exposure. They are much easier to
find in the vines than green beans, they are very eye-catching, and best of
all, they keep their color when cooked. Very beautiful in stir-fries, cut into
one inch lengths. |
