Nice Heritage bean gift from co-worker

[oakley]

A hand-off from a co-worker last night. Her Grandmothers saved seed from
Sicily. She settled on LongIsland NY. They were her Grandfathers seed the
family has been growing every year. MariaMallano is her name, (her Grandmother)
(I helped my co-worker with some troubled vegetable starts a couple weeks ago)
That led to gardening talk....

It is a skinny stringless string bean. Delighted they are so tiny. I'm always seeking
out small dark beans. Like the tiny French fillets.

Not had a chance to look for comparables. Exciting none the less.
