The long beans hanging from the locust trees are eaten by deer, but in my neck of the woods, they stay on the ground and aren’t used until late in the season. I don’t know whether the pods get sweeter or the deer get desperate. They bite hunks out of the fleshy pods, spacing out the bites to miss the seeds. I have read that the Indians fermented a beer from those pods, too.
