Topic: Which French beans??

Cherokee T of Tears sent off today, Cheers for the pepper seeds Shirl

i've tried the dwarf but agree with a few other posts on here, they hang on the ground and not very easy to harvest. i'll be trying blue lake next year as i have it on good authority that they are delicious.

My recommendations:

Climbing
Cosse violette - high yeild and superb flavour
Blue Lake or Cobra for the same reasons - but my Blue Lake which went over this year also made superb flageolet so I prefer these.
And finally NeckarGold for a bit of colour on the plate


Dwarf
I grew Ferrari and purple teepee this year - was impressed. Also Sonesta whihcb I have grown for a few years as tends to be reliable.

I have grown Cobra for the last 4 years, it has been prolific and tasty.Wouldn't be without it now.

Cosse Violette did well for me this year, when Trail of Tears, planted right next to it, did nothing at all. I wouldn't be without it.
