I did manage to harvest a few for eating! I know it's not much, but they have a can't-be-grown-here reputation in my state. These were grown from seeds of a lone plant that survived a -14 C freeze in December 2022 (Windsor variety, I call these Windsor -'Hardy').
Any other beans I get this year will be saved for next year.
Agua dulce that I tried to also grow this spring never got off the ground. Maybe try some more of those this autumn?
Added later: I de-podded them and blanched them per instructions online. My verdict: delicious! Nutty, creamy sweetness, like peas, but better. They will be a protein topping a salad tomorrow. Mrs. Sub_p is a bit suspicious of unfamiliar vegetables, I'll see if I can get her to try what she calls "those weird beans".
