Yes, I think so. They sure sound good from the descriptions.
I'm also wondering how people cook them.

they are good, and they crop realy well.
i find they crop best if you pick the beans every other day.
i think i prefer them to runner beans.
also try to pick a stringless type

I would point you right toward bush beans if you are cramped for space. Trust me, there is nothing easier than a bush bean plant. It's hard to believe how many snap beans you can harvest from bush bean plants shoe-horned into blank spots in the planters and garden. Being able to plant about 9 per square foot makes shoe-horn the right word! ![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)
This past year I planted royal burgandy and they hardly ever made it into the house! The kids and I were eating them right off the vine like crunchy candy. Blue lake and contender are good green snap bush beans that I can recommend as well.

According to my calculations, the problem doesn't exist.

Are bush beans the filet beans?
My peas never make it into the house-talk about utterly delicious-scarfed down on the spot !

Oops, I should have said, "I don't know of filet beans, but I would point you right toward bush beans if you are cramped for space."
That said, there are filet bush beans available.

Deborah, I plant blue lake. I cook them with a beef boullion cube. Yummy.
