Us N'East parvenu rubes say pole or bush beans. Decided not to grow
any this year, too labor intensive harvesting, stringing, and pinching
off the stem ends... frozen are fine and no work at all plus I freeze
mine anyway... also cost the least of all frozen veggies... nust be
all those zoftig/buxom illegal senoritas that I love, don't want
stringbeans. LOL
