I've grown both red seed and black seed. Seems to me the red seedpods
grow old too quickly. The black seed one are more succulent but have
lower yields..
Which taste better?

I am no greenthumb, but the only type of asparagus I've seen are mostly
green and about 6 inches long at the supermarket. I've never seen any
asparagus that are a yard long and red or black. Where can I buy these
type? -
That's "asparagus BEAN" or "yardlong BEAN". It's not asparagus. Sorry
I didn't make it clear.The bean pods can grow a yard long but it's usually harvested maybe
half that long while still tender. It's eaten like green beans or
string beans. -

I've never seen these but sure would like to try growing them! I'd be
very curious as to their flavour and texture. Here's a link for anyone
who is interested
