After a first, very wet, growing year in admittedly very poor clay soil all I have to show from my borlotti bean trial is a handful of pods with no beans to speak of developed inside. Can anyone advise whether the pods are edible so I can maybe salvage something from this disaster.

edible when young, a bit tough when older.I eat them like french beans so I hope they are edible anyway.

Thanks for that, I'll give them a try. No comebacks obviously!
