I'm have a problem ... (as if that's anything new!)
I am growing climbing french beans ... and guess what I think the labels got mixed up !!   :roll:  

I have six varieties on the go ...  so far I have ID'd ....  

First Cobra ... wonderful 8" long pods round sweet and juicy
Next in line is a flat bean with wavy edges  ............................................
Next is Madeira Maroon ...big mottled pods with pale pink flowers - the foliage looks much courser too
Next is Coco Bi-Colour ... but wont know that till the beans are shelled  !!
The last has flowers and very small pods so far ........................................

I also have Cherokee Trail of Tears going a blast ... and if I only ever grew one sort again it would be these .... wonderful fabulous taste !!

My question is :-

What do Tiger Beans and Lazy Housewife look like   'Cos those were the other two beans I grew !!      

And are Madeira Maroons best kept for the beans of eaten as sliced pods ??
