I completely agree. I love the Tenderettes and the Royal Burgundy beans. Where I live, almost everyone else grows a type of bean called half-runners. They are prolific but have to be stringed. I don't like that, or the taste of those beans.
Yes, Lady Di are good runners, but still one or two have strings, I like Lazy housewife(round white seeds) always seem stringless and good flavour or cobrs for earlier ones.
I can recommend Lady Diana runner bean, stringless and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm growing a Meesha runner and seems stringless. Almost don't mind it as much with the runners as they're such a bigger bean!
DeleteYep. I quit the Kentucky years ago. Now all I plant are Blue Lake - stringless and a big bean-y taste.
ReplyDeleteSomeone on Facebook mentioned Blue lake to me - might have to find them out.
DeleteYeah, I left a comment about Blue Lake earlier in the year. My crop is coming great now... lots in the freezer.
DeleteI'll have to get the seeds for next year. Are they a blue bean? I figure even if they don't keep their colour they will be easier to spot and pick!
DeleteI have switched to tiny french beans. So much better.
ReplyDeleteWhich ones and do they climb?

ReplyDeleteAre they a cross between runners and french? I've seen those advertised.
