Growing Information

How to Sow

Snake beans are heat tolerant. Just be sure to keep the frost-free. Sow them right where they are to grow remembering that they will need something to climb on.

How to Harvest

Snake beans get long! They aren't called yard-long beans for nothing. Pick them while they are still green. If they are beginning to yellow or wilt, they are no longer good to eat.
