Description
Vigna unguiculata
One of the true marvels of the bean world! These prolific vines grow slender, green pods up to two feet long, though they are most tender when harvested at about one foot. (The “yardlong” moniker is a slight exaggeration!) This variety is popular in Southeast Asia, for good reason – the vines thrive in heat and humidity and are resistant to many pests and diseases.
Asparagus beans are most often chopped into bite sized pieces and used in stir fries, where they really shine, but they can also be delicious steamed or used in soups. They’re so big you can even throw them straight on the grill!
Direct seed into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Asparagus beans will need full sun and well-draining soil. Provide a trellis for these beans, as they can reach six to eight feet in height. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, asparagus beans will need at least an inch of water per week. Consistently harvesting the pods will result in a long harvest window. Annual.

Second season buying these seeds. I definately recommend this company.

I am planting most of this, but you would need some serious land to get it all in the ground. I am going to buy 2 more for my survival kit and bulk purchase the seeds I use regularly. Very pleased and pretty simple for a first time gardener.

I bought as a gift for my sister and she couldn’t be happier! The deluxe bonsai kit I ordered came with the cutest little stone pots and everything you need to grow! Definitely getting a few more kits!
