Celebration, isn't that the one with peach coloured flowers, we grew that
a few years ago, good cropper, grew well. The Boss prefers white flowered
beans, says they are more tender, so we grow White Lady and Moonlight.
What we find is when we have a glut we can't get rid of runner beans to
neighbours, they all want French beans though.


I would call Celebration flowers salmon-pink and they contrast nicely with
the red of Enorma.


Has anyone grown 'Climbing French Bean Blue Lake' ?

I bought a pack of seeds yesterday.


Yes. It's OK, but not the best of the climbing blue beans, which
are our preferred ones. But the differences are small.
