Thinnest filet beans ever!
I usually opt for filet pole beans and have a lot of towers. My favorite bean there is Emerite. However the Compass bush bean is indispensable. I grow a lot of them and can't keep up eating so many, so I slightly blanch a lot, dry them, and put them in zip lock bags in the freezer. They last a long time there and when I use them I thaw and lightly braise them in butter. They are just as good as the freshly picked ones from my garden. I found the blanching/freezing is preferable to canning -- less work and the beans stay crispy.
I protect the plants from rabbits by surrounding loosely with chicken wire.
I have found the Compass seeds are prolific for a full year, so I select the 2 oz size packet and plant nearly all spaced out over three to four weeks.
