  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Apr 29, 2020 4:47 PM concerning plant:
    An afila type, short stiff vines. Yields are good and the pods are very easy to pick. A few days earlier but very similar to Bistro. It is a one and done harvest which may not be desirable to many home gardeners. Probably designed for machine harvest. Satisfactory but less productive (smaller vine) than PLS 595 which I will continue to use in this niche.
