For gardeners who enjoy growing something a little different, yard long beans are a striking warm season crop with long, slender pods and vigorous climbing growth. They are also known as snake beans, asparagus beans, bora and long podded cowpea, and are best treated as a greenhouse or polytunnel vegetable in the UK. The plants need heat, full sun and sturdy support, so grow them up canes, strings, netting, trellis, bean poles or an A frame where the pods can hang freely as they develop. Pick the beans while they are young and tender for the best eating quality, then continue harvesting regularly to encourage more pods through summer. A great choice for stir fries, curries, stews and unusual home grown vegetable harvests.
