No idea, our first ones are curled, in the past I've had both types. It's not a problem. I suspect they're all better eating than those from the shops. Mary |

As a matter of interest 'How do you produce straight ones?' I think to some extent this depends on variety - some just tend to be longer and/or straighter. Otherwise it's probably down to how much elbow room the beans have to dangle unrestricted. My runners usually turn out curlier than the ones my father grows but he has a bigger veggie garden and uses taller stakes, spacing things out a wee bit further, which could account for it. -- Sue |

As a matter of interest 'How do you produce straight ones?' Why worry. it's the taste that matters, not how the EU decide what it should look like! Mine vary, depending on whether the beann catches on something when growing. Alan Peter. |
