Beans 
“Greasy beans — which owe their name to their distinctively shiny, fuzz-free pod — were so cherished by early mountaineers that a bride’s trousseau often included a few seeds from her family’s unique strain. Such devoted guardianship produced an unmatched diversity of greasy beans in the North Carolina and Kentucky highlands, with more than 30 known varieties still cultivated on small patches of mountain land.” Read More in the Mountain Xpress
Greasy Bean
Greasy beans are a southern Appalachian specialty, mostly found in SE Kentucky and western North Carolina. The pods have a shiny/hairless look to them, hence “greasy”; the hairless pods keep fresh longer. Old-timers love them for their great texture and flavor, and will tell you that any bean that doesn’t have to be stringed isn’t worth eating! Days to maturity: 70
Bush Blue Lake
Easy and trouble-free, even for the new gardener, this snap bean is widely adapted across the U.S., and is compact in the garden. For best harvest, succession-plant every 3 weeks or so from early spring till late summer (avoiding the worst summer heat in warm areas). Hardier than pole beans, bush snaps can be direct-sown after all danger of frost. Days to maturity: 55
Red Yard Long
16-20″ long beans are borne in clusters of up to four beans each. Healthy, vigorous plants. Sweet flavor compares to Gita. Burgundy color will fade when cooked. White seeds. Days to maturity: 75
