YouTube: Plant Yard Long Beans (Asparagus Beans) for an Abundant Harvest

Here at Gardenerd, we are of the opinion that yard long beans are better than any other green bean. Our latest video shows you how to plant them for an abundant harvest.

Yard long beans taste great, especially when sauteed with tamari and toasted sesame oil. Just a few beans make a side dish for two, and they grow prolifically on a trellis. Grow them this season, you won’t regret it.
