Snake Beans
Thursday, February 5th, 2009
I’ve been growing snake beans over the summer this year. Brisbane is sub-tropical and has hot and sticky summers, so I’ve been trying out some more tropical vegies that won’t wilt at the first touch of Queensland summer sun.
The snake beans are pretty prolific, and live up to their name – I harvested one that was nearly 30cm in length. They seem to survive dry hot weather, but don’t bear much unless they get a decent soak. The beans themselves are a little paler than standard green beans, but taste similar.
