    I’ve given up on climbing beans always full of black fly and I don’t spray chemicals but have had great success with dwarf French beans grown in the greenhouse started picking in mid June and with repeat sowing still picking now, the variety that I found to be the best is Ferrari very quick to produce and delicious

      I'm still picking runners but they are getting close to finishing.

      Any of them that get blackfly I just get rid of them by hosing them with the setting on jet. Works for me.
