Borlotti Beans
Just before I went away for a couple of weeks, I picked some almost dry borlotti and shelled them, put them in a tray to dry in the greenhouse and forgot them! The beans are clearly quite dry, but they have turned from a creamy white + purpleish red colour to a pale coffee colour + purpleish red! BUT only on the top, the bottom is still the expected colour. I think they may have a sun tan! However does anyone know if they will still be OK for keeping and eating (not for seed). Ta Roger T |

Can't think of any reason why not - blues, reds and purples can be very fugitive in sunlight. -- Rusty |
