Has anyone grown these? I've just noticed I still have a packet, and a quick internet search pulled up some info that says you can sow them outside til June, so might try a couple of rows. Any tips or suggestions?

Hint: treat like beans.

feed em liquid manure once they get started

I did just that today with mine    

I have grown a few more this year, mine are dwarfs but when the packet has run out I'm going to grow the climbers as I think they'll look fab full of speckledy red/purpley beans.  I dried mine on kitchen paper and used them for soups and stews but you can freeze them or just eat them fresh
They are easy to grow and when they start to look scruffy and going dry you take up the whole plant and store it somewhere dry like the shed. The pods open when dry enough and out pop the beans.  Mice love them so will make a bee line for your shed so make sure they can't get in

Grew them last year and got them in this year, dead easy to grow even after the wet year last they did crop well. The only thing I am doing different this year is freezing the bean rather than drying, I did have some go mouldy. Treat like climbing french/ runner beans.
