wodehouse · August 12, 2021

Seems to be a bad year for Japanese beetles...beans are getting badly chewed, EXCEPT for the Sechelles pole bean. It's a round snap bean with pretrty good yields and nice flavor, but the biggest virtue, for me, is that the beetles pass it by! Has anyone else had this experience, with Sechelles, but also with other varieties?
