"Cherokee Trail of Tears" beans
These have turned out to be a very versatile bean. You can eat them as a green bean or you can let them ripen for a black bean. This is the first year I've grown them. I'll plan on growing them again next year.
Beans, in general, are very helpful. No tying tomatoes!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Do I understand you correctly; you co-plant tomato sand these, so that the beans support the tomato plants? Interesting idea if so.

Yes. A support system such as bamboo or wire screen is still needed. The beans wrap themselves around both, tying the tomato plants to the support system. Here's a photo showing the beginning of the process.
I have never heard of these before, way cool!
