Extra fine long Green Beans
« on: January 28, 2020, 08:12 »
Hello. I'm looking for Haricot Verts bean seeds.  They seem to be only available to be shipped from the US - does anyone have any other suggestions similar- I grown Blue Lake but really enjoyed some really thin long beans on Sunday when we went out so was hoping to grow them myself.

Thanks
Marie

Real Seeds do one called Cupidon filet.  I haven't grown it but it sounds like it could be what you are looking for.

Good morning Missey,  the "Yard long bean" sold in Chinese supermarkets has the correct name "Dow Gauk",  I've tried to grow it but not a great success.

Hope this helps?

Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

'Haricot Verts ' only means green beans so you can get those here.

These look good enough to try - https://www.suttons.co.uk/Gardening/Vegetable-Seeds/Popular-Vegetable-Seeds/French-Bean-Seeds/Bean-Dwarf-French-Seeds---Compass_196950.htm#196950

Tom says: The finest of all French beans, this extra fine bean has taken the market by storm on the continent with good reason. It has incredible flavour and will give huge yields.
