Dwarf / French Beans Question

I'll send you some anyway Kristen, only bought em as a window sill/green house crop. I grow the full size ones outside, you know, gardening for height & all that stuff.

Do I have your address ? Can't remember, best Pm me.

 

I have some - that's how I knew they were flat :thumb: ... but I will use them up this year, so hang on to yours unless you discover you hate them

 

Ok Mate

Hopefully will know soon.

With my Red Mullet Beans, any idea wether they can be eaten raw or do you have to cook them ?

 

Thanks for the help guys! I think I will go for the french beans, although nobody seems to have said how high they grow roughly.

Also can you freeze them ok?

 

My first post earlier: "There are Dwarf (about a foot or 18" tall) and Climbing French beans"

If you mean the Climbers then they will do about 6' or 7'

 

Hiya

I always do a couple of pots of Dwarf Bean safari - they are just like the Kenyan fine beans you get in the supermarket. Just top & tail them. They are soooooooo easy to grow & I always start them off in the greenhouse so they are always my earliest beans. Never have any left to freeze though - the kids (and dog) scoff them straight off the plant!!!! They look pretty too in a pot - I also do my dear old Dad a pot to keep on his patio. They grow to about 1 1/2 to 2 foot high. Very highly recommended.

I also do some climbing french beans - but purple ones (that go green on cooking) They are really pretty too. and taste good.
The climbing beans go as high as you want them - once they reach the top of the pole, nip out the top.
