What have you done with them all?   I haven't grown nearly so many, but people now turn and almost run in the other direction if they see me approaching with a bag in hand!

40lb went to church over the last few weeks, 4 bags went on freecycle and we have either eaten or chutnied the rest. Hehe i have an ikea bag full sat looking at me in the kitchen and i think i may do one last chutney blitz ..........
Tomorrow  ::) and after that i will ......... Maybe let the plants go over.  :ohmy: oh no cant do that....... I'll chutney some more.

Wonder if you can make runner bean jam, jelly, cake, pie........  :wub:

I've stopped picking mine and I'm letting them grow fat into beans rather than pods.  If the weather stays fine they will dry on the plant and I can use them for soups etc.  I hope! If not they will be into the dehydrator.

I've picked 54 lbs runners which has been far too many.. I've frozen about 60 or more take away containers with enough for the 4 of us.

BTW but I bet you didnt get 88lbs of Strawbs like I did BQ.... or 220 sweet corn plants all producing well!!

Will you be changing your sign in name to Bean Queen, or perhaps The Scarlet Empress?
