tender baby bora reach the peak of flavor when prepared in oil, either in slow sautes or quick stir-fries. They can also be steamed, of course. They're lots of fun to arrange on the plate, their 15- to 18-inch flexible size lending itself to twists, spirals, and more!
These 9- to 12-foot vining bora frees up the horizontal rows in the vegetable garden for other varieties while bearing abundant harvests. They're easier than bush beans to harvest as well. Direct-sow after all danger of frost, and for best harvest, keep sowing at 3-week intervals until late spring. For fall crops, begin in late summer and continue until a month or so before first frost date. Support the vines on a trellis, tower, or poles spaced 3 feet apart.
Sow seeds 1 inch deep and expect to see the shoots in just 8 to 15 days. Packet is 15 seeds, which will plant about 6 to 8 feet of row.
