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. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

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. Tina |

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