Runner Beans

Only had one Bridgwater bean come up out of the first sowing



Got some more on the go now

 

Not keen on runners but I've sown a whole bunch of French so hopefully they will do well

I prefer French and Bridgwater, and the beans too

 

What are Bridgewater beans?

It's a local bean for local people

Best tasting bean ever according to most, sort of half way between a runner and a French, but without that awful runner bean taste.

Want me to send you one? You still in the tent ending 7JP ? at the Isle of Wight festival circa 1970?

 

Locals only please, this is a local bean shop, nothing for you here

 

Please do not covert the precious beans of the shop

You've been living with the "no tails" for too long Harry.

 

I've moved to a new tent I'll pop overt the address now, thanks

My french beans have just started popping up over the last couple of days and thanks to Ziggy I've just planted half a dozen Bridgewater Beans

 

Bridgewater beans are so called because somerset in pots and somerset in the ground.

 

They will probably go on strike.

 

When I was a kid I'd sit hidden in the middle of the runner bean row and eat them raw, loved the taste.
of course always ended up with indigestion.

 

Here we go

 

I prefer French beans as well . I am growing two Dwarf varieties , Slenderette and Safari .
