Just found 5 beans, picked and will be carefully shared between the 2 of us tonight. fingers crossed for lots more to come.  Mine are moonlight too (or rather saved moonlight from last year)

Nice to have runners again slow though they may be.

I picked a handful a few days back.

Keep a close eye on them John. Mine looked the same but on closer inspection, hiding near the bottom, there was enough for a meal!!  ;)

runner beans are like grey hairs. One day you can't see any then the next you find a load of really long ones.
