| I know this is supposed to be a question -but- I am excited!! I have my first flush of Chinese Red Noodle Long Beans. I have been harvesting the other long beans for quite some time. In 2009 the Red Noodle will go in earlier or get started inside.

| Glad to hear it! I'm still waiting, although they are starting to flower. I got a late start with them. This is my first year growing them. How did you cook them? |

| How did your Chinese Red Noodle beans turn out? What recipe did your finally decide to use? I am looking at growing these for 2009 as well. I will probably start them inside to give them a head start. Do these plants get very leafy? I am going to grow them on a trellis and I would like the trellis to look filled out, so I am wondering about spacing. thanks, |

Dean, the "Red Noodle" plants are very reluctant climbers, and will need a considerable amount of training, compared to other pole beans. But once they get started, they will fill the trellis. I plant mine 12-15" apart.  |

| Have cooked the Red Noodle several times since they first started to come in. Mostly stirfry in small amount of oil with bacon -or- chicken stock. BUT THEN............... I will be growing Red Noodle again in 2009 but will let them get 'fatter' on the vine. The taste of the 'fat' RN longbean is MUCH better than the thin, long RN. Cheers, |
