    This is my second year growing the Red-Seeded asparagus yard-long beans. I grew them last year for the first time and I knew I had to grow them again this year. They are a heat-loving bean and love to climb. Takes a while for them to get going, but no stopping them once they do. Beautiful light purple flowers.
