This is the first year I am growing the Romano type Algarve beans. They are a climbing pole bean type.
I planted both Algarve and Northeaster Romano type pole beans on the same day. Both vines grew well but the Northeasters started producing beans about two weeks before these Algarve gave me a harvest. So they seem late to me.
But a very nice bean. Large pods so that they are easy to pick and fill up the bowl quickly. Very tasty and not at all tough or stringy even harvested at their larger size.

An excellent early Romano type bean for Italian style dishes. Under my conditions very competitive with Early Riser both in earliness and production. Pods are meatier and hold longer before getting fibrous (shucky)
