hi , my cobra beans have finally gone wild , we are picking them by the asda basket full now,

they was a little late due to the cold start in june this year,

ill be saving a few pods to dry out for next years seeds,

Mine did really well, as well

Whats a cobra bean?
Never heard of em. 

[beansticks]

It's a climbing french bean,and will reach 8 ft,if you get them right they are really heavy cropping.

Do they have same taste as ordinary French beans? Was looking at our rows of dxarf F. beans this afternoon, and thinking how much space they take up, compared to runners.

[Yorkie]

Yes, they taste normal 

[peterjf]

cobra beans are smooth , no stringy bits ,grow to 8-9 foot , the more you pick the more you get ,

I have 15 plants growing on a 'mini Munty' in our garden, barely 6ft high, and we are picking about a large hand full every day. More than enough for us, plus the runners are producing quite heavily now too.

Next year will definitely do climbers. Be a lot less bending as well.
Do you keep your Munty thingy in the same place each year, or shift it around?

It's on a 4 bed rotation, about 4ft sq.

(Taken back in June, when the weather was fine, Do you remember?  )

Thats pretty smart !  Youve got netting instead of string, havent you ?

Whats that beside the plot? a pigeon youve shot ?

String for the beans, netting is for the cucumbers.

Whats that beside the plot? a pigeon youve shot ? 

Nope, that's the local pigeon poacher!

My cobra beans are doing amazingly too but I wish I had realised they were not a dwarf variety -  I would be spending less time on my hand and knees fumbling around in the foliage

So your cat likes helping with the gardening as well 
Cats are born gardeners, I think
