And they were the earliest as well - they were producing beans in mid-summer, when the other French beans were barely climbing the poles. Are they always like that?
Love borlotti beans :)This year we grew some french which frankly weren't very good,they are setting seed because I stopped picking as they weren't good.Question I obviously don't want to repeat them next year so could I dry the beans and use in soups etc like borlottie s ?

I've been pleasantly surprised by Black Magic runner beans.
I've been pleasantly surprised by Black Magic runner beans. I'd expected them to be stringy, but as long as they're picked small, they're tender and tasty.
This year I picked the runner beans at a much smaller stage , about the size that folk normally pick French beans ...and they were SO much nicer ! :)
