First planting of Top Crop. Picture taken 6-3-09
Top Crop were the green beans I was brought up with. My dad planted enough of these to keep us in greens all year and then some. We would pick them and take them to the living room to snap while watching TV. Then mom would put them in jars and take them to the basement when they cooled off.
