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.

Don't call me picky, but if there was a distinct lack of flavour,
how were you very successful? loads of tasteless greenery?

Thank you for your replies - something to think over! I hope to get
more flavour this year.
I had a lot of beans and picked them when they were quite small - one
stringy bean will ruin a panful of good beans!


I'm wondering whether too much water makes for less flavour? On the
other hand, is it actually possible to give to much water to a runner
bean?


I rarely watered them - only when there was a long dry spell and that was
rare last year!

Begs forgiveness for asking, but could they have been cooked in too much
water ..or overcooked? (Dives for cover).
