I have tried to grow many beans over the years and have been dissatisfied. This year, as an experiment my daughter and I bought a bag of 15 bean soup, separated and planted what looked like one of the varieties. It is either the cranberry or the pinto in the mix. It has produced and grown so prolifically that I am picking every week and giving some away. I have never had such high yields. I am amazed. I am also amazed that I can buy a pound of beans and lentils for a dollar and have more seed than I know what to do with. My husband and I decided to expand and plant more varieties of the soup to see what comes of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us, it certainly is valuable insight.

I grew them last year for the first time. A small bed 2’x4’ produced enough for me to can 18 half pints, 3 pints and all I could eat during the season. Growing again this year.

Wow that's awesome ☺️☺️☺️

Nice bowl of beans, I could have eaten the whole bowl.

Rattlesnake beans are the best. Cook them with very little water. No onions. Put oil in water. Cook them down until they begin to shrivel. Delicious!

Booyah!!!💃💃💃💃 Yay! Doing my happy dance. I’m so glad you like them. We’ve grown these for almost 40 years. And my father in law is the one who told me about them so no telling how many years before that they were in their family. I was so happy watching this video. So glad I suggested them to you. I also got Celebrating Appalachia eating them. Yes pick them about every three days. They are very prolific. Ours grow here in AL til August. My favorite way to eat them is with potato salad and cornbread cooked in an iron skillet. Yum! I hope these beans grow as well for you as they do for us. God bless you and your garden.

We like that it produces all summer long.

Been growing rattlesnake beans since I was 18 and I'm 57 now, my parents grew them before that. I've tried several other varieties over the years but none beat the taste or production. I'm from NE Mississippi.

Rattlesnakes are also a great dry shell bean as well, with flavor similar to pinto beans. It really is a great all purpose bean.

Been growing rattlesnake beans 4 years now. Best I’ve ever tasted-just my opinion. You did forget the bacon grease though.

The bean trellises keep the bed so neat and the beans look very tasty. 👏

Here in Western Kentucky I love growing rattle snake beans on a arched cattle panel. They keep producing well into fall until I get plum wore out from picking beans lol. They Can great as well. 👍🏼👍🏼

Have grown these in Central Alabama for years. Usually pressure can about 50 quarts of them. Good all year long!

Yep, best beans. Can't believe you boil them to death though, I usually quickly saute; I like crunchy onions too! . Taste one RB raw and smile! I've kept them alive through the summer and they performed well again in the fall. Not sure about this crazy year! (I'm in central TX)

I've been growing these for several years and have observed that they sometimes take a little break in production and then come back for a final push at the end of the season (sept/oct). I'm in zone 7b N. Alabama. OH, and for something entirely different you might like to give Blauhilde pole beans a trial. They grow to 10 inches. I grow a few for cooking fresh. I tried freezing and didn't like them for that.

Love rattlesnake pole beans

Looks great, but being of Italian descent I would have added garlic cloves.

Best and easily beans to grow so far.

I paused the video to run out and plant my beans! 😁 Just stopped raining so the ground was perfect (and we're finally warming back up into the 60s this week). Planted 2 kinds of pole beans on a tall trellis, and interplanted several types of bush beans in various spots in the beds, plus some Chinese red noodle beans on an arch. Some of these are new to me - only planted bush beans last year. Thanks for the motivation!!! 👍

Scott I just ordered a pound of rattlesnake beans from hoss,I heard they are really good.glad to hear you like them.planting them in the fall.great video.

You sold me on them. I just placed a order with seeds for generations for some seeds. I can't wait til it warms up here enough to plant. For us , we can plant about Mother's day.

I've been growing rattlesnake PB's here in Virginia (7b) for several years. It has been a great producer. If you want some variety, Monte Gusto (Johnny's) is a yellow PB with good taste and little string. Also Dragon's Tongue Bush bean is prolific in small spaces and tastes great. All three are great garden snacks fresh off the vine!

Geen growing mine for 2 years now also. O yes please add a little bacon grease to the pan when you cook the onions. Love your videos

Definitely always grow rattlesnake beans. Also really like purple podded pole beans. They have about the same shape and flavor profile. Both very prolific.

My parents grew rattlesnake for years so it was a natural choice for me. I have tried a couple of other pole beans including kentucky wonder and rattlesnake is the best. usually pick them full length but before the seeds start to form. I usually just boil them with a pat of butter but this recipe looks tasty.

Excellent video. Would like to see more videos like this on garden channels that take food from the garden to the stove. I will be referencing this video in the days to come when my pole beans are ready. Thanks for posting!

Hey Scott that’s my favorite green bean also. I have converted a couple of friends too. Best impulse buy I ever made at an Ace Hardware store!

I love green beans. I'll have to give that variety and your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!

I have just found you so I am quite interested and pleased in the 3 shows on KZread I found. With some very good idea's and suggestions. Please keep them coming, I have not gardened for years and have the chance to start again. I am changing a big weed patch into a learn lesson and into a garden

My favorite bean! I can’t wait for that rain this weekend🪴🙌

I just made some of these and added sweet chili sauce, garlic salt, white miso, and raisins. The outcome was great.

We love green beans. That dish made my mouth water.🥰 I have some of the rattlesnake beans to try this year can't wait to harvest. This is our planting time. 👏👍🌱

I am growing bush beans (and pretty much all😀) for the first time this year. I will have to try growing this kind of bean! Thanks for the suggestion!

Yum, my favorite! I've been growing them for 12 years now. I bake mine in the oven with butter, olive oil, garlic salt and parmesan. I haven't even planted mine yet in the PNW

definitely sounds like and awesome bean glad you found It

You left out the slivered almonds. And sliced button mushrooms would have given you the moisture. Wish I were there. And yes, we need the rain. I’m near New Orleans.

I will try these next. Thanks. I've got a nice row of Edox about 2 foot tall - can't wait for the bounty.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Don't get me wrong. Gardening tips are essential for people to learn from someone that has done it before, but the reason we garden is to eat. I love that as a side effect, people "generally" tend to get closer to nature and grow their spirituality rite along with the vegetables. I know that it has helped me. Even when the garden is a flop I get peace. 😎

I enjoy your cooking from the garden video recipes. I will try this one for sure. Thank you.

Lovely video, lovely bean!

JADE GREEN BEAN -BUSH--WORKS VERY WELL IN CENTRAL MN FOR US--VERY TENDER-COOJKS IN SHORT TIME--GOOD LUCK-THANKS FOR GOOD COOKING VIDEOS=WE LIKE DAIKONS

Love seeing things going from the garden into the kitchen! Glad you did this video!!!

Can't wait to try these! Mine are only about 5" tall right now (zone 6b/7a).

Will definitely try these next year. I tried growing bush beans last year but I only have a small area so my two plants didn't produce enough beans to make them worth my time. This year, I planted Asparagus long pole beans. They are just now taking off in growth and I'm looking forward to seeing a good harvest.

I’m not a huge fan of green beans, but those look good thanks for sharing.

Thanks Scott. I’ve never Rattlesnake beans. I have Kentucky Wonders planted but I was late planting. I have some blooms but no beans yet. They usually are prolific. Maybe I’ll try in the fall.

Rattlesnake pole beans are the best! Great producer and can with stand heat.

Love the review and the music 🎶

Greetings from South Georgia. My neighbor grows the best rattlesnake pile beans! They are to die for. They start producing here any time after or around the 4th of July. I always string them as my family complains about strings yet they love to eat them. Will have to try your recipe. I normally put them in crock pot with salt and pepper and a bit of water on high for 4 hours and dinner is ready.

That sure looked good!!

I do enjoy your cooking videos. Thanks for posting.

I might try them next year Scott. My beans came up today, so its going to be some time before I get to eat them.

I grew some for dry beans and save for seed. I would agree about bush beans. It would take a person planting most every available spot. Rather it be in a flower bed, garden, around a tree, or your entire lawn area to produce enough dry beans for a pot of Chili.

Absolutely my favourite green bean!! Very prolific and great tasting.

I will have to give them a try. Thanks for the review.

This will be my 3rd yr growing rattlesnake pole beans. My very favorite green bean ever and also a good dry bean. Very good raw right out of the garden!

Like 👍 those beans but never heard of that one before! Thank you for the great video ! 🎁

We love the Rattlesnake pole beans best just young and fresh off the plant. We only cook them if we have gotten behind and they are bigger and stringy (like over 3/8” thick) and then we roast them. Don’t forget crop diversity is important, too! I have been reading through the comments for varieties suggested by others who also love the Rattlesnake Pole Bean. Thanks to everyone who’s shared.

Looking good !!

Thank you! I keep seeing these pop up when looking for seeds. I'm going to have to give them a try now after seeing your reaction.

Thanks for the video!

Glad we have same conclusions on these.

I’m so happy to have this recommendation from you because I have also been very disappointed in the common varieties’ taste. I have been growing Romas for a few years but I’ve always wanted a pole bean! I’ll definitely be trying these. Thank you!!

Those look SO good thanks for the info on those beans🤠🤠🤠☺️☺️☺️

I'm in Iowa and grew these for the first time this year. GREAT! I want to taste the bean though, I steam mine and just add butter and salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Delicious, will be growing them again (hope they are heirloom).

You needed bacon grease in there and some cornbread. Yum yum

Looks great we have been looking for a new bean to grow, we have never grown a pole beam before but I look forward to trying this variety

This is my 1st year growing these as well as some dragon tongues. Thanks for the review, now I know what I have to look forward to.

Looks good! I’m growing Qing Bain pole beans for the first time this year. Loving them so far. Fastest growing beans I’ve ever grown. Stringless and stay soft up to 10-12 inches!!

Looks really good. Great review on this bean. Plus it grows in Texas drought! Thanks

Made me hungry. Your are a really good cook Scott. Gave me a new appreciation for what my family used to call “String Beans.” Now I know why they were called String Beans. Lol. I think I may pick up some of those Rattlesnake Pole Beans. 👍🏾

Okay you sold me! I’ve still got time to plant some in NH!

I like to add mushrooms to mine. I will have to try those beans, thanks Scott.

I cut the pointy end off too.

Grow you some Kentucky white half runner pole beans there delicious

I've been growing rattlesnakes for the last few years. They really handle our summer heat well, though they will take a break during the hottest part. Be sure and save some seeds for next year, they get better each season from your own stock.

I'm growing some this year, but I was under the assumption that they didn't have a string in them. Guess I was wrong! I cant wait to try them!

I'm trying to grow bush beans in containers for the 3rd year. This year I put them in a 37 gallon tote. Fingers crossed. All the other attempts were failures due to heavy pest attacks.

Onion, garlic, and BACON...got to have some bacon in tbere! Lol tried Kentucky wonder this year. Planted some asparagus beans for when the heat just gets to be too much!!! I am trying a Greenstalk orginal this year! I really like it so far. Well made (and I am picky)

Good info Scott, thanks! I tried Blue Lake pole beans last year - they sprouted but never made it to the surface. I tried them again this year, in a hugelculture bed - waited 2-3 weeks and saw nothing, so I soaked some overnight and planted them yesterday - we shall see. I think next year it will be time to try a different pole bean, as long as it matures within the length of my growing season.

Hands down, from 62 years of experience, the best and most prolific green bean I've ever grown/eaten, is the Desperado Bush Bean from Burpees. No strings. Great germination rate. Fantastic production. Compact enough to grow in a 10 gallon grow bag. We stage ours. Takes very little time to go from seed to production so we eat and freeze green beans all summer long. No trellis needed. I know. Reads like a commercial. Sincerely sorry about that but truly a great green bean so thought I'd share.

Lastly, have a question for you Scott. If you wanted to save money each year by not buying seeds, I'm assuming all you have to do is let the bean grow large and pull out the pods like you were showing near the end of the video from that one large bean. Is it as simple as that or do I need to take further steps? Gets old buying seeds every year and I'm betting it's totally unnecessary. Just need confirmation from a more experience gardener. Thanks much sir.

@@davidscarborough713 Thank you. I’m currently in central Texas so that should work for me. I have an open bed. Do you think it’s too late to start some?

I love these kind of videos! I’d love to try growing new types of vegetables but sometimes idk what to do with them. For instance, eggplant, okra, and yard long beans. Those are just not things that I grew up eating and they grow great in my climate (fl panhandle zone 8b/9a).

I have been hearing about these but haven't grown them yet. Now I'm wondering if I should get seeds now and get a crop this summer.

In this moment I am cooking you receip

My corgi LOVES frozen green beans!! I've been looking for a bean to grow for her and us if she will share. I'm going to have to give these a try.

My favorite green beans I adds slice of bacon with the onion and salt

Looks great ! I love green beans but don't like stringy ones .

I may have to try those! Have you tried Contender Bush Beans? I have had exceptional luck with them. Prolific and no strings. Great video.

Next year! I'm trying dragon tongue bush beans this year, but as you say, pole beans produce!

Ymmm.....long and speckled Rattlesnake greenbeans looking SCRUMPTIOUS Scott! Being Mexican how about a medium-sized tomatoe and maybe a couple of serrano or árbol peppers? But adding that garlic salt powder probably enhanced the flavor most definitely! Thanks for sharing Scott, been very busy but gotta check out Seeds for Generation website, liked and buen provecho! :)

sir i can see that being a meal for me.

My first harvest will be next week and I will be cooking Southern styles with onions and bacon. Simmer slowly until very tender.

Scott I won a shout out from a young 16-year-old, Al’s Homestead. He will be giving you a shout out when he does another video. He just hit 1000 subscribers, his recent video is what he wants to do on his channel, faith, farming, freedom. Thought you might like to check him out.

I like new info about new foods. Not really a bean eater.

I want to plant them this year, but I am completely out of room in my garden. Guess I'll hold off until next year.

I am going to plant rattlesnake pole beans and purple pole beans first time ever this coming spring. So am definitely interested in your opinion of them.

I just ordered a pack of them seeds. I grew contender green bean last year and didn’t like them. They had a bitter aftertaste. I just wanna grow thing I like to eat also.

Can you review Scarlett runner beans? Intrigued by the red flowers.
