The proof that these little beans are well worth growing is surely in the eating. The pods usually contain only 4 beans (occasionally 3) but the beans are jade green and keep their colour on cooking. The flavour is wonderful too. I much prefer these to the pale grey that many broadies end up with on the plate!

Quite right too - although the yield is a little lower that 'newer' varieties, they are a delight to look at & taste!
Mine weren't troubled by blackfly last year, but had a dose of the little critters this year. That won't stop me growing them, though, they are lovely!
Beautiful So few people eat shell beans here -- it seems to be a regional idea. I'm growing some, and looking forward to them.
Yes, I agree with you. They are prolific AND tasty. The wonderful flowers is just a big bonus!
Very beautiful and healthy beans, I love them pale also, these are good stuff.
They look wonderful. You do realise, don't you, that you and Hazel are responsible for me rapidly finding out that 8 planned raised beds are not going to be nearly enough ...
