Default First pick of runner beans



We grew Enorma. Nice bean but as you say, finished now.

Hello All

VERY BIG SNIP



Here I am in the soft middle lands feeling sorry for the Scots with
their appalling weather! Now I am envious, my runners have long gone and
they are out favourite veg!


I am in East Anglia, and I picked some good beans yesterday. I normally have
3 wigwams. This year they were "Enorma","Celebration", and "Painted Lady".
The first two finished a couple of weeks ago, but "Painted Lady" is still
going, and that is why I grow it. It is late cropping, but keeps going. It
also has the virtue that the red & white flowers are pretty.

Best wishes

John
