I am always late with these as I like to make sure that they grow well and the old folks home get a good crop.
First beans are just showing so I got a few more weeks before we start to pick them.
I prefer painted lady myself always be a good cropper and no stringing either.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

I have a few plants for early results and they are now producing, but my main batch are only just flowering.  I find the later ones give a better crop.  Will sow another batch this week, to last me to the first frosts.
