I prefer to grow pole beans over the bush variety and have been growing Blue Lake Pole beans for at least twenty years. Reliably tasty and less stringy if picked when they're young. Keep them picked and they will produce all season long.

Rita on the north shore of Long Island, New York zone 6/7, where it is humid during our Long Island summers.
