The real deal.

Our local farm store sells these beans as "dwarf horticultural beans". They are NOT the same. This is my third year growing SSE's Lina Sisco's. By far my favorite bean. We prefer to can them. They produce a lot of food and are a family favorite. I have friends, family and neighbors asking for "extra" if I have any left over. Everyone loves them. A word of caution..the rabbits pass everything else in my garden to eat these bean plants.
