What a find! Tasty and stringless.We had a steady supply of beans from a direct sowing into a large plastic trough beside the back door with bamboos for them to scramble up . Next time I plan to try the same but underplant perhaps with bush tomatoes.

First time I''ve grown this variety of bean, plants look healthy had loads of white flowers, but no sign of any beans! :-(

First time I've grown these and although they were watered every evening I was disappointed with the short growing season and crop. I hope it was due to the weather and pollination this year as I will definitely be growing them next season as their taste is superb
