When I was a kid, I remember my dad planting greasy beans one year. He called them greasy-back beans. They were the best tasting green beans I can ever remember him planting. As I recall the pods would get fairly good sized beans in them. They just had the best flavor. I had considered growing some greasy beans this year, but since I haven't gotten around to starting any this year, I will probably wait until next year at least.

Just curious - what varieties of greasy beans are you all growing? I don't know the specific variety my dad grew, just that he called it a "greasy-back bean".
