Title: Best Runner Beans
Post by: realfood on April 27, 2012, 18:34:19
Gardening Which has published their best buys for Runner Beans which may be of interest.
White Lady, heaviest crop.
Red Flame, heavy crops.

Runner/ French Bean cross. Developed by Tozer of the UK. Look like Runner Beans but do not need pollinating as Runners do, so you could grow in a green house for a very early crop.
Moonlight, white flowers, and Firestorm, red flowers. Not as heavy a crop as the top two runners.

Grew Moonlight last year.  Did have loads of beans.  But actually St George out cropped them.

I have saved some moonlight seeds so it will be interesting to see if them keep their attributes.

I am more interested in flavour than huge cropping.
