Yesterday I picked another pile of runner beans for lunch. There are still quite a few small beans on the plants and I can`t bring myself to cut them down yet.

my runners are still going too, quite a lot still on the plants.
they are 'painted lady'. as you say, why cut them down? (unless you've plans for the space) guess the frost will do that soon enough.

Same here too, in the normally cold, wet and windy Pennines !!
Just happened to take a pic last week !

I finally hacked mine back just before going on holiday, but still managed to pick a carrier bag full! I also have 5 huge bunches of HUGE bean pods all hanging from my shed roof to dry for my 'soup bean pot'. Had a great bean year this year! ;D
