THIS is a photo of a one-month-old French Beans. It is already flowering. At 35 days, the first fruits could be harvested.
  
This variety is particularly suited to places with mild climate. The pods are long and slender. They are sweet and very tender. That is why they cost high in the market. One grower is selling his harvest at P180 to P200 per kilo.
  
We saw somebody trying to grow it in Morong, Rizal which is quite dry and hot. The pods were not as long as those grown in higher elevation. Nevertheless, the Morong grower was able to sell her harvest at P180 per kilo in Manila.
