Default Runner Beans

In article ,
says...

We will go with Enorma and in a raised bed as well. So far we have picked
over 25 lb off the few plants we have, we think 10 plants but we can't see
the stems because of the foliage. I suppose it also helps that we have a
Bee's nest in the shed very close by :-) Still picking and they are still
producing but slowing down a bit. Grew them last year and will grow them
again next year.

Does anybody else weigh off their crop?

No idea what I grow, they are all seed kept from previous
years. I know this year, one row had red flowers, the other
pink.

Got a very good crop, and still picking - upto 27+ lbs at the
moment. Record year was over 41 lbs

I always weigh beans, peas rhubarb, and soft fruit, got records
going back to when we moved here 20 years ago. It is
interesting the difference in cropping periods over the years,
I record start and end date on a 10 day window in the month, ie
early (1st to 10th) mid (11th - 20th) and late.

Don't know why, but I've never bothered to wiegh root veggies
or spuds (not that I grow them any more).
