The pods must be picked daily or they get hard and inedible. The largest in this group is too mature to eat. I cut them into slices and sauté in butter. The flowers last one day and are pretty in their clean simplicity. Some years thy grow poorly due to inclement weather. This year is the best my plants have ever grown in Zone 5.

The fingers were sliced, cooked in a cast iron frying pan in butter, and steamed a few minutes. They cook very quickly. They have a most pleasant taste. Pictures depict the effort.
