Beans, Peas & Legumes

Kentucky Wonder or Kentucky Blue?

16 years ago

I'm going to be growing Asparagus Yardlongs and Cherokee Trail of Tears this year. I want to grow one more pole bean. Right now I have seeds for both Kentucky Blue & Kentucky Wonder. I grew Kentucky Wonder two years ago with great success (despite having to fight off Japanese beetles). So I was leaning towards something different, the Kentucky Blues. However, I've read more favorable things about Kentucky Wonders, which has left me confused. If you had to choose between the two, which one would you pick and why?

Kentucky Blue came from Kentucky Wonder and Bluelake. Since I like trying new things, I would give them a go. I've never grown them and this year I have way too many others to grow to even consider them. My bean count stands at 35 varieties this year alone.
