I refer to these as my idiot beans. Easy to grow, tasty, stringless variety. Pick beans when they have gone purple, cook until they turn back to green. Easy!

Dark blue long pods that turn green when cooked.

Sow Indoors: April-May, singly in clean pots or modules of compost 2in (5cm) deep. Water well. Keep warm.

Sow Outdoors: May-June, direct into the required harvest position, 2in (5cm) deep, 8in (20cm) apart. Keep soil moist at all times.

Plant Out: Indoor raised crops May-June 8in (20cm) apart.

Harvest: June-August. Climbing beans require trellis or a 'wig wam' of canes to climb through.

Pick young beans regularly for best flavour.
