This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in soups, stews, etc., 

 to which they impart a rich flavor and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly in rich 

 ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart 

 and 1 inch deep; thin out to 10 inches apart in the drills. Ploe often, and earth up a little to 

 support the stems. The very young pods can be gathered and dried for winter use.

 ductive, bears long pods, which remain tend""- a long time and are free from hard ridges.
