No matter what you call them (asparagus beans, yardlong beans, snake beans, or Chinese long beans), one thing is the same – they thrive in the heat and love producing all summer long. Not only that, these beans are high in protein, vitamin B, iron, and calcium, and are easy to grow. Learn how to grow asparagus beans with these 5 tips.

Hi - what do asparagus beans taste like? Are they similar to regular green beans?
Thanks!

They are good, but not quite as good as regular beans,in my opinion. Not as fresh tasting if that makes sense.

Hi - I planted my asparagus beans in mid-March, but 4 months later, they still haven't started flowering. Should I be worried? They're creeping up the trellis, so I know they're growing a few inches a week.

Hopefully soon. That does seem slow, but hopefully, once they get going they will produce well for you.
