Asparagus beans are also known as yard long beans, its a bean of the
vigna genus it has nice purple flowers and grows beans up to 3 foot
long. They are popular in stir fry as well as cut like regular green
beans. They taste about the same. The plant is a pole bean type with
vines that will run about 6 or so foot tall and the long beans hang
downward. Easy to grow and best planted when the soil is rather warm
just like any bean. Hope this helps.

Subject: Christmas Gift Suggestion
Hi, Guys!
Last month I read a wonderful book called Giant Tomatoes, by our very
own pumpkineer Dr. Marv Meisner.
This suggestion is entirely unsolicited:
If you need a last-minute gift suggestion for almost any gardener, call
or write Don Langevin. Yes, the same guy who sold you your pumpkin
growing books. Tell him to send you Giant Tomatoes. Your loved ones will
love you.
For myself, I'd like to thank Dean Busquaert of Napa for having
recommended the book. Merry Christmas, Dean!
And a BIG thanks to Marv Meisner for having made such a wealth of
information so understandable. Merry Christmas, Dr. Marv!
Merry Christmas to everyone on the list (and especially to Deb and Randy
- we owe you a Christmas card, thank you card, and who knows what else)!
May Christmas joy rain down upon you all, and peace on earth!
Kathie in California
