While searching for dual purpose veggies, I came across an article
that said scarlett runner beans could be harvested green or left on
vine to ripen and dry, so that you could pick them in fall as dried
beans for throwing into soups and stews.


In the past, I bought Scarlet Runner dried beans (found with all the
other dried beans at Whole Foods). I tried planting them and we
harvested the resulting green beans.
