They measured in at around 20" long.
These beans grow on vines that must be allowed to climb so we built a trellis for them. The beans are on one side and the cukes on the other. Everybody's happy.
The long beans shoot out little branches that end with a pair of flowers. Red long beans have purple flowers.
Once that pair of flowers sets fruit, another set of flowers blooms off the end. In the pic here, you can see the first pair of baby beans and the second set of flowers on this branch.
Very symmetrical.
More baby beans and flowers. You can see the right hand set getting longer and redder.
Almost ready to pick. These were just over a foot long.
That's my lemon squash below them.
