Briar what variety are they?

 

[BriarPatch99]

I really don't remember the variety .... the local feed and seed place has all kind of seed ....my Dad had planted some before .... he made up aluminum post(kinda like 4" irrigation pipe) with holes in them . ...one strand clothes line about eye level (5') another about 3' high ... I used Brown sisal twine for droppers to get vine running up.. don't take long for them to cover the wires...

Both green & colored made a whole pile of beans ....

I may just plant some more this week ....plenty of time to make here in SGA.

The green may be Carolina Sieva

The cure for bending over is have the kids do it. Or just pull up the whole bush. I pick butterpeas sitting on my tailgate.
