    Hi,

    I am growing yard long Asparagus beans. Does anyone know how tall they grow and do they need canes? They are

    about 18"  tall at the moment.

    I've read that its a very vigorous climber I would imagine it will need lots and lots of very tall support. As the beans themselves are very long indeed.

    They are grown as for runner beans and need a hot summer for good results - yours are off to a good start so pray for a heatwave. Boggy
