Title: I cant remember
Post by: Flunky on May 15, 2008, 11:22:03
I was given some beans(?) to plant.

The guy who gave them to me is away and i am trying to label what i have planted. The problem is. I cant remember what he said they were.

They are pink colour, with black brindle pattern on them. They are just under an inch in length. i think they maybe some sort of runner bean ???

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

I think Borlotti are pink and white. Pink with black sounds like a runner bean -
(my Scarlet Emperor are pink with Black).

If you've any left over a photo alongside a coin (for size) would help.

French bean seeds are  much smaller than runners but other climbing beans (like Borlotti) can be quite large.

My runner beans looked like that - I was quite surprised :)

They are called 'best of all'
