I'm have a problem ... (as if that's anything new!)
I am growing climbing french beans ... and guess what I think the labels got mixed up !!
I have six varieties on the go ... co far I have ID'd ....
First Cobra ... wonderful 8" long pods round sweet and juicy
Next in line is a flat bean with wavy edges ............................................
Next is Madeira Maroon ...big mottled pods with pale pink flowers - the foliage looks much courser too
Next is Coco Bi-Colour ... but wont know that till the beans are shelled ??? !!
The last has flowers and very small pods so far ........................................
I also have Cherokee Trail of Tears going a blast ... and if I only ever grew one sort again it would be these .... wonderful fabulous taste !!
My question is :-
What do Tiger Beans and Lazy Housewife look like ??? 'Cos those were the other two beans I grew !! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D
And are Madeira Maroons best kept for the beans of eaten as sliced pods ??
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
guess what, Tiger beans are striped ;D
lazy housewife is a very old variety (terrible name) but no distinguishing marks but if you use a search engine you'll be able to find pics
as far as I understand it you can do either with the MM beans, good for both eating and podding but especially more so for podding
Flowerlady I must agree with you about the cherokee trail of tears. I have already got mine for next year along with coco sophie. My freezer is full to brimmin.
