YARD LONG BEANS! - THESE THINGS ARE FANTASTIC

[@berryanderson5529]

When a few of the beans are too full hull them. The beans are fresh tender and delicious. Love your videos. Greatly enjoy your voice

[@BIGALTX]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jarnold8803]

5 beans make a meal? Not at our house. My mouth is now watering for cornbread,cabbage and beans. Yum

[@BIGALTX]

Hahaha... you may just be hungrier than me :)

[@ShortbusMooner]

Cool beans!! 😎👍

[@BIGALTX]

Tru Dat 😀

One of my favorite things to grow are Yard Long Green Beans. They are very prolific and can grow in the HOT summer when most green beans won't. Check out the 2022 Harvest of Yard Long Green Beans. Here's my Associate Link to HOSS TOOLS: bit.ly/homesteadadvisor (These yard long beans are called "Orient Wonder" at Hoss Tools) Here are the Yard Long Bean seeds on Amazon: amzn.to/3yyZoIL alan Check out my Website.

I love growing beans. You're pretty well guaranteed a harvest

[@BIGALTX]

Yes, thank you

[@hunterrhodes2ss86]

This is interesting I’ve had a bad year with beans I think it was due to the heat of this year.. might have to try this

[@BIGALTX]

They WILL grow in the heat for sure!

[@blueridgeorc]

These are actually im the field/southern/cow pea family so they love heat.

[@SilverOwls]

Nice harvest! That's one productive crop you've got there.

[@BIGALTX]

Thanks! 👍😎

[@BacktoCountry]

Nice, we will definitely add them to our list of things to try!

[@BIGALTX]

You should!

[@odomshomestead]

Great video I wanted to thank you for all the support means alot 🙏🏾

[@BIGALTX]

Always glad to help!

[@JK-jf7xq]

I grew red noodle beans this year. They did well. I cut them up small and add them to so many meals. I'm going to get some green yard long.

[@BIGALTX]

I've been meaning to try the red ones... any difference?

[@tambrasmith9707]

They are good ..I stir fried them in butter with onions ,mushrooms and a few real bacon bits and left the beans a little crunch

[@tambrasmith9707]

I will plant them again

[@tambrasmith9707]

I didn’t plant many …maybe on a 5 ft section of fence

[@tambrasmith9707]

These are green

[@spoonnwithsunshinehomestead]

Grew some this year and trying them for the first time tonight 😊

[@BIGALTX]

Nice. I’m ashamed to say I have not even planted mine yet. Hopefully this week, but it’s been very hot.

[@dawnss8913]

I've been growing them for at least 15 years. They are very prolific and tasty. Very different from green beans but still can be used in place of here and there. I personally do not like them canned, they get slimey and soft on the shelf to the point of inedible after a year. I freeze them and dehydrate them to preserve.

[@BIGALTX]

Good to know… thanks for the tips! 👍🏻 😊

[@anngranquist1828]

I planted a small batch this past spring- liked them so much I planted a big row again in summer. My summer planting is still going strong. I’m in zone 8b. These were my favorite- I will plant much more next year- Ps- I have canned these. They are great

[@BIGALTX]

Great. We've canned them too a few years ago!

[@occamsrazor7939]

Thanks. I have never tried yard long beans. I do like sugar snaps and green beans. I may try them next year.

[@BIGALTX]

You should!

[@markcdeyoung3118]

yeah you're definitely right on that if you let um get too leathery they're a little tough to eat I just went out and picked all the dry seed beans off of my trellis this afternoon man them beans really been tasty good this year mostly I've just been throwing mine in a few teaspoons of water and a chunk of butter pepper and salt and steaming them up tender with some diced up tomatoes man talking about about a flavor treat for green beans thou excellent 😘👌 .. most of my beans only got about 18 in long and less than a half inch around this year back an '05 that was the first time I grew um they got near 3/4 inches around and almost 6 ft long and still be pretty tender they grew so fast .. kind of freak my mom out when I came in the door with um swung over my shoulder like a big long tug boat rope 😅 I don't know exactly what has happened to my garden but it's a broken somehow hard to grow anything in it anymore despite all the amendments and additives I put in it I put lots of Ash eggshells compost turned under with Green manure and the pH is hitting its mark and I'm all organic so I'm not sure ? I guess some of it's to do with the weather ?

[@BIGALTX]

I'll have to try to steam them... sounds like it might be good... thanks

[@tambrasmith9707]

Fixing to stir fry some of these beans to see if I like them .. I didn’t plant very many of them and just found them on outside of fence … a lot got too big before I seen that they were ready

[@BIGALTX]

Hahaha... they grow QUICK!

[@tambrasmith9707]

Thank you for telling us about these beans

[@adnacraigo6590]

Never grew those but they look interesting.

[@BIGALTX]

Try it!

[@bizzybee6342]

My yard long beans are looking the same as yours. They produced a lot of beans this year! We're letting them produce seeds now. I plan to try cooking some of them as dried beans.

[@BIGALTX]

Let me know how they are as "dried beans"

[@tmtx7]

I'm from Asia and enjoy your video. Anyways, we don't call that yardlong beans, it's green and bigger (fatter) than the yarlong beans. We call that asparagus beans. They are longer than yarlong beans. They grow more than thirty inches long, whereas the yardlong beans is only about twenty four inches at the most. This asparagus beans is sweeter than the yardlong beans. I plant it every year and can't never be wrong. They love hot weather here in the south, Tennessee is one of them although they trhive in northern states but shorter growing season. My last harvest is the middle of September if my goats didn't munch them, maybe I'm still harvesting them. ;(

[@BIGALTX]

Good information from someone with experience growing them Thanks!👍😎

[@k.p.1139]

I was considering these beans. But, the truth is, I'm done with growing stuff just because "it will grow here"! 😆Now, with that being said. You have used the earth boxes for a long time, do you need to stick with the grow chart, or can you sow, like green-beans a little thicker than they say?

[@BIGALTX]

I usually go with the chart because they've researched it so well But... I suppose you could just sow the top with beans or peas (like a wide row) It would be worth a try 👍😎

[@lekoto99]

Keren..bakal calon bibit unggul

[@BIGALTX]

YES!

[@terridunning5439]

I took your suggestion and grew yard long beans for the first time this year. They turned out well and I will grow them again next year. I decided to get adventurous and to order from Kitazawa Seeds. I got variety "You Fong Wong" because it sounded like an evil do-er on the Green Hornet and also variety "Kurosanjaku" because that sounded like a good sumo wrestler. I like to have an adventure in my veg garden (preferable not involving snakes). Anyway, they both turned out to be delightful with the Kuro... being really great in stir fries. If anyone has canned these up I'd like to hear how they did. They are very good, but a bit different from a regular green bean (just a bit). I'm wondering how they would do as dilly beans? Thanks for the tip and good luck with your fall gardens.

[@BIGALTX]

We canned some a few years ago. They can up great Tastes the same canned as they do fresh

[@terridunning5439]

@@BIGALTX Thanks for the taste review. I will definitely can they up next year.

[@bettycrunk206]

Hello all,. I've been looking for the seeds for the Asian yard long beans. I can't find them. who do you order seeds from ?

[@BIGALTX]

Under the video there are these links: Here's my Associate Link to HOSS TOOLS: bit.ly/homesteadadvisor (These yard long beans are called "Orient Wonder" at Hoss Tools) Here are the Yard Long Bean seeds on Amazon: amzn.to/3yyZoIL

[@cliffstone71]

These are actually a type of cowpea. If you look at the leaves you can see the resemblance. They are fine stir fried but not the best as traditional green beans.

[@BIGALTX]

Agreed... much better stir fried 👍

[@silvergriggs8952]

what variety of long beans are these??

[@BIGALTX]

They are called "Yard Long" beans or Oriental beans Go here and look for "Oriental Pole Beans": bit.ly/homesteadadvisor

[@michellecollins2106]

Can you grow in fall garden?

[@BIGALTX]

Yes, these beans love the heat! 👍🏻 😀

[@summerrose4978]

Do these freeze ok to use in stir fry

[@BIGALTX]

We do freeze them, but I don’t think we’ve ever stirfried them after freezing. But I think they would work just fine if regular green beans do well after frozen.

[@miketalley1666]

i grew and liked that they were stringless , but something about the taste I didnt like

[@BIGALTX]

Yep, they do taste a little bit different than a traditional green bean. But if you sauté them or stirfry them they’re really good that way. Probably the way they are intended to be cooked.

[@tambrasmith9707]

So if I shell the ones that are too big ..will they dry so I can save the seeds or do I just need to let them dry on the vine and feed the big ones that I already picked to the chickens

[@tambrasmith9707]

Or have u eaten any that u shelled

[@BIGALTX]

You can do either one. Sometimes I let them dry on the vine, sometimes I’ll let them dry in the barn after I pick them. But make sure they get big and fully formed. They will be kind of rubbery.

[@tambrasmith9707]

I have another question about the long beans … can I plant sum more now ? Or should I wait til fall?

[@BIGALTX]

In my experience... the yard long beans LOVE the heat. So, plant them now. I haven't even planted MINE yet. Hope to do that tomorrow. But... don't plant them deep. They need to be planted only about 1/4" deep.

[@tambrasmith9707]

Thank you for helping me …

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

They grow in Austin in the heat of summer even in a side yard with partial shade. I stopped planting as I felt their taste wasn't exceptional, they lost their crunch if even slightly over ripe, and they had a pungent taste overall!

[@BIGALTX]

Understood... it IS a little different

[@jeffkiehne2545]

Can these be grown for animal food .

[@BIGALTX]

Oh... I'm sure the cows would LOVE them!

[@JustJoyHowdy]

Asparagus beans.

[@BIGALTX]

Yep... lots of different names for them 😎

[@MrOldclunker]

I tried them this year and really didn't care for the flavor. I guess I am hooked on the Roma Green Beans. LOL

[@BIGALTX]

Hahaha... they ARE a little different BUT... I just can't grow regular GBs to save my life 😎

[@jujube2407]

I'm in upstate ny... my red ones grew wayyy better than the green yardlongs...wonder if it's climate dependant

[@BIGALTX]

Not sure. I need to try the red ones
