So what others do you like? I grew pole beans this year. Purple King, and Fortex stood out. I'm just finishing them off. Still alive. About done though.
Very productive! I grew others like a cranberry colored pole bean. It did well, not as productive but the beans were very sweet. Anyway for the first time I was amazed at the huge harvest. Thanks for mentioning these two. I will try them, though sometimes location makes a difference.
So Purple King and Fortex are on my keeper list. And the Cranbury too, just for the good taste.
