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.

I prefer harvesting the blue beans, much easier to spot.

I much prefer french beans, each year we have less runners and more
French I think


Which Blue Bean do you grow?



Off topic slightly as my runners have been a disaster this year, the
worst I have EVER grown; or not grown;.
Searching for Killer whale beans I came across this site.
