    Monte Gusto is a yellow pole bean, very quick and easy to grow. I found the beans themselves a very nice size of about 6 inches. They held well and did not easily get too big and tough to pick. Nice flavor. The young beans tasted great raw when I ate them from the plant as I was picking my harvest to bring inside and cook.

    This is my second year growing Monte Gusto pole beans.
