          Thank you (again!) for those beans @Zigs
          I've got a good little crop going on and #1 son thinks they are the best beans he's ever tasted :thumbsup:Mr "M" hasn't realised he *will* like them (:rrant: ) I just haven't found a way to serve/hide them yet to achieve that aim :heehee:

          So, the next phase in the Bridgwater Bean Saga:
          • How to I ensure I have beans for planting next year? Do I let a couple of pods swell and dry out on the vine?
          • What is the best way of preserving some for over winter?

              Glad you like them :)

              Shiney's right, just let them dry and shell them, then keep em somewhere mouse free :)

                I leave mine on the plant because the meeces don't like climbing chicken wire :)
