Can anyone recommend varieties of beans and sugar snap/mangetout peas that
are truly stringless?



I can certainly recommend Oregon Sugar Pod. I grew a staggered double row
15' long on my allotment last year and I couldn't pick them fast enough. Eat
them young and there is not a trace of stringiness about them.

Though the tastiest bit of the plant in my opinion was the tops I pinched
off them. No wonder the pigeons like them so much.
