I have just picked the first of my runner beans, Once they start they
never stop! The freezer will be working overtime the next few weeks.

Ours have just started; one picking so far that (only) just fed six.
Lots of old flower stems with no pods :-(


Who remembers salting them down in Kilner Jars?

my MIL did that (in the 60's/70's) and they looked and tasted hideous.
