Please sir, put your tape measurer away. I got my long yard green bean and I pre-measured it and put notches on it with my sharpie. Skip the risk of tangling your measuring tape and grow your own portable almost half a true NFL yard long (up to 18”)  beautiful green and tasty bean measuring tool. They sure are tender, luscious, string less, drought hardy and sure be a garden show case as they droop down your trellis like thin dreadlocks of green goodness. Great for plucking at all stages and popping right into your taste buds. A favorite for a salads and stir-fry, but we love to pickle with them. Wrap bean in a spiral in the bottom of your favorite mason jar, throw in some okra and carrots, and your secret brine and you got yourself something you won’t feel at Whole Foods. Be sure to sterilized jars when pickling. No botulism for this Space Dog!
