why buy from Egpyt or Mozambique when you can grow these excellent beans in you own garden.They will crop until November if slightly protected and even longer in a polytunnel.

These beans are fantastic! Sown in August, they crop just at the time when you're beginning to miss French beans again. The beans are long, straight and full of flavour. Plus you get a very high yield. This is the first year we've tried these and I'll be planting them every year from now.

High yielding autumn cropping bean.

Sow Outdoors: June - Mid August, direct into the required harvest position, 2 seeds per station, 2in (5cm) deep, 8in (20cm) apart in rows 12in (30cm) apart. Keep soil moist at all times.

Harvest: October.

Pick young beans regularly for best flavour
