Yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis)

These need a longer season than I really have; they're a pole bean that
does well if I get started as early as possible. In the U.K. you should be
fine.
Cherokee Trail of Tears bean
I grow these most years; pole bean that's left on to maturity for dry
beans; very tasty and very productive.

Haven't tried the others; I'm adding "Corona" beans, because I encountered
them in a cooking podcast ("The Splendid Table"; saw the host at a garden
conference several years ago) Bought some online and will plant. They're
billed as a runner bean, so should be OK on my usual six-pole teepee.
