They were picked green and my grandmother and mother used to sit for hours and "snap" (break) them into about inch-size pieces to can. They were also sometimes called string beans, I assume because of the "string" along the one side that was pulled off during the snapping process. We also raised lima beans (you shelled those) and pinto beans, which were indeed, red. Diane ==== SW_VA Mailing List ==== #3 Support the fight against unrequested junk e-mail (SPAM).
