Ok, my gardening buddy planted a couple of rows of "China Doll" lima beans that he got at the grocery store. They are growing really nicely but we don't know what to expect from them. We have a couple of questions...

*Are they as good to eat green as they are after they've dried?

*If the beans are picked green will the plants put on more peas or are they a single-harvest crop?

I'm thinking about trying one of the China Doll legumes but before I do I'd like to know a little more about the grocery store beans. nodding

Thanks!
Ed
