If you have never tried to grow runner beans, then make this the year to have a crack. When harvesting them your positive you have picked all the sizable specimens, then you turn over a big green leaf and find another handful. Great grown in a strawbale garden, or in a conventional plot. You will be popular with the neighbours because there's usually plenty to go around. Use in soups, stews, stir fry's risotto's etc. Try making runner bean chutney. Don't be put off by the colour it is fabulous. Try my choice for this year. White Emergo. A great organic variety. to purchase and get more info go to our seeds page. Thanks Strawbale Simon.
