Pole Bean Northeaster

by Maureen Sullivan on March 2, 2023

Full sun.  This delectable Romano bean requires trellising or use of the ‘teepee’ method of support but it is well worth the extra effort.  Northeaster produces 7 to 10 inches long, wide flat beans.  Plants produce an abundant flush of beans in mid summer then after a brief rest put out a second flush that last until frost. This bean cooks quickly and is sweet and tender.  It is one of the most looked-forward-to veggies of our garden.  With a quick blanch and a pat dry it freezes well too.
