Each morning I go to the bottom of the garden to pick runner beans, and
often I cannot find any, then a couple of days later there are dozens of
them, huge and well past their best, so where have they been hiding, and
how can I be sure to find the damnned things before they get to the stage
when they are inedible?


They're good at hiding aren't they? We pick them in 3 stages. SWMBO picks
all she can see, then I pick all I can see, then SWMBO goes back a few
minutes later and picks some more. We still miss a couple, but not many.
