hi again . I grew Aquadulce last year and they were great. they are  an overwintering variety
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I would go for both Masterpiece and/or Imperial Green Longpod.

Picked when young they can be steamed whole.  Left until the beans are larger, but not bigger than a finger nail they are so tender.  They are green beaned varieties, which I think are better tasting than the white beaned varieties.  As their names imply they have long pods full of lovely little beans.

Not to be outdone Have also sown a load of aquis which will be nice and early and I can pick them tiny too. ;) :D

I was amazed that when I soaked them before planting just how huge the beasns got  :o can't leave them to get that size ... no sireeeee  ;D
