runner bean addiction - help!

I've just used the last tub of frozen runner beans :shock: I have to wait a long while before i can eat my favourite veg again. :cry: :cry:

Has anybody grown the bushy type runner beans? Hestia i think they're called. Was wondering if they were worth growing early in a tub in the g/house. :cherry:

I like the French beans myself.The ones I grew last year were Blue Lake.B ut I woul'dt grow them with runner beans again, because they all got tangle up. I have just look in my seed catalogue and hestia can be grown in a pot.But the early cropper is called Kelvedon Marvel.That Kings seeds.

I have grown hestia in a pot and they croped fairly well. However, they did not work well inside and still need to be pollination I think.
