Not so productive but a heirloom after all. There are many varieties you can grow and people have opinions to each one of them, at least a personal opinion and everyone have a different opinion, that's why flavors are made for every type of people, hurray for "the people choice", democracy at its purest!. But for me this kind of bean is not a "to die for favorite", yes it is a green bean you will not find it in any supermarket and it's flavor is very smooth and creamy, but as I said only half a pound, yes! half a pound for half of one square ft garden. Right now I have another variety growing up(a hybrid)and I hope to get more pounds next time, if not green beans will be out of the question next year.
The kind of vegetables suited for the square ft garden are more of the leaf side... Lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, mesclun, beets, carrots, radishes, although I didn't succeeded with the last 3.... More practice I know, well to be my first year something I learned that's for sure.
I learned there are many insects attacking the plants, I have to kill them before they eat or destroy the time I invest in the garden, sounds complex but it's not, just follow the steps and you are done, what steps?, well you have to read and try, that's all I can say.
Water the plants, when is summer water more often, watch the garden every day to see no problems arise.
