San Antonio Pole Beans

Has anyone grown 'San Antonio' pole beans, how do you like them?

The description I found online is...It's similar to 'Soldier Beans' and 'Nun's Belly Button' but these are much larger, plump, rounded and kind of egg shaped.


San Antonio

The plants have enormous leaves and climb freely. It produces large, wide, flat green pods which turn pale yellow when fully mature. You can eat the pods when young but it's more suited to producing shelly beans, fresh or dried. The beans are huge when fresh. Overall yields are about average. They keep their hilum marking when cooked but it turns more of a dark grey color. Flavor is nice and the texture slightly dry and mealy but full of substance.

I germinated 4 of the 8 seeds I have, they're up and ready to plant out, now to find a spot :).
