Kentucky Wonder is a Great Pole Bean
by MaryB
I have been saving these seeds for thirty years. I got the original seeds from a 90 years old neighbor. The seeds have good germination even after a year or two of not planting. Plants climb to about 6 feet. Pick when young as they have strings as they age. Breeds true from seed. Japanese beetles like them so hand pick if you get this problem.
