Description
You can pick these beans when they’re fresh and green, or let them dry out to get pretty multi coloured beans with black spots—great for hearty winter meals.
• The plant also gives lots of edible flowers that taste mild and fresh, making them perfect for decorating dishes or tossing in salads.
• plant them straight in the garden once soil is warm, 3–4″ apart and 1½” deep
• Use sturdy supports like poles, wood, metal bars, or a tall trellis (about 6–8 feet high).
• Don’t go overboard with fertilizer—too much nitrogen can mean fewer pods and slower growth.
• Crowded plants with wet leaves can get sick easily. Space them out and avoid touching the leaves when they’re wet.
• Harvest beans when nice and plump. Dry them to save for later or cook them soon after picking.
Always cook these beans well—raw runner beans have a toxin called lectin that only goes away with thorough cooking.
