Notes
'Monte Gusto' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Monte Gusto') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows rapidly and needs a trellis or other support to climb. The smooth, bright yellow pods are the main reason to grow it.
Pairs well with Sakura tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Dark Green Italian parsley.
