Notes
'Long Island Longpod' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Long Island Longpod') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows at a rapid rate, so give it a trellis or poles to climb. It blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Cucumber, Winter squash, Pink Delicious tomato, and Parsley.
