Last year I grew very successfully, and for the first time, runner
beans. I was disappointed with the lack of flavour and wondered
which, in your opinion, have the best flavour.

My favourite is 'Enorma'.

Mine too! But don't leave them hanging too long. Nine - ten ins. just
about perfect, usually. Never really tried to freeze them - do they
freeze well? And if they do, is the taste affected? They come in such
abundance that I usually give them away by the bag load and it seems
such a waste not to put them to good use.

I also give them away as fast as I pick them. Frozen beans can be
purchased at any Supermarket but good fresh beans are hard to come by.

Having scoffed both, I must say I disagree. Store-bought frozen runners are
usually woody and taste of cardboard:~( We save some of our runners to
have with our Christmas dinner. It's positively joyous to eat summery beans
in the depth of winter. Yummy! :~)
