What can be done in a culinery way, with runner beans that are a bit too

There's lots!

You can make soup, but it's rarely worth bothering. There'll be
more along in a minute ....

You can also let them continue and eat them as dried beans - they
are very good like that.

What you have to do is decide. Either you keep them picked, HARD,
and eat them young, or ignore them and let them ripen. You can't
do both on the same plant.

It is very good to know that all is not lost if you don't pick them
