We sell some purple hulls, too. They're a little easier to pick than other beans, because the pods hang from stems that stick up above the plant. Yellow wax beans sell at my market because no one else grows them. We also sell a lot of "strike" variety green beans, because they are small and tender. Other growers grow blue lake because they are bigger pods that yield more, but the beans are not as tender as strike. Picking them is murder on one's back, though.
