My AccountThis new white flowered variety has smooth, stringless pods of excellent flavour.
It produces masses of flowers which set well even in poor weather or high temperatures. This results in heavy crops of tasty beans.
We first saw this outstanding bean in breeder trials in 2007 and having tasted it, made the decision there and then to introduce it as soon as commercial quantities were available.
Moonlight's excellent self pollinating characteristics ensure a good bean set, therefore producing consistently high yields.

Load and load and loads of beans. Have a chest freezer full of the things........ and thats having a serving with every sit down meal since June.
As we live in the north east of scotland on the coast,we have to grow the beans in a poly tunnel because of the winds, we also have trouble getting the runners to set as there are only a few bees, but we were amazed at the rate the moonlight beans are setting in the last week or so, brilliant beans. 20/08/20111
