Runner Beans
 

What can be done in a culinery way, with runner beans that are a bit too
stringy for the pot. Are they any good for soup?
There's lots!

You can make soup, but it's rarely worth bothering. There'll be
more along in a minute ....

You can also let them continue and eat them as dried beans - they
are very good like that.

What you have to do is decide. Either you keep them picked, HARD,
and eat them young, or ignore them and let them ripen. You can't
do both on the same plant.

No, they are no good for soup unless you want to pick them out when they
have added their flavour.
There are only three ways for runner beans. Eat them young, grow them for
seed next year or put them on the compost heap.
Once they are stringy you can't eat them. If they are stringy you should
have picked them earlier. Runner beans, once they are in full crop need
to be picked every day.

Always pick them early, they are much better then.

It is very good to know that all is not lost if you don't pick them:)
