Runner bean recomendation

Ropster · « **on:** September 05, 2010, 18:10 »

Im looking for a recommendation for next years runners. it needs to be as resistant to going tough as possible because i keep forgetting to pick them and they get too big.

What do other people grow?

It's looking like "Moonlight" may be one of the front runners for next year.

I think White Lady is the best runner bean you can grow

It is light green and very tender and tasty

It also has a white flower ( hence the name ) so I always grow
a couple of sweetpeas in row

I second white lady. Best runner beans I have ever grown - tasty and do not get tough.

I third White lady, it is string less & prolific.
I have a freezer full.

As I mentioned in passing on another thread, just harvested 25 lbs of them.

White lady for me next year. Wisley Magic were okay this year though....

First time for me growing White Lady and will definately grow them again next year. A very heavy cropper of tender, tasty beans. Seems like they a long cropping period as there's still no sign of them slowing down.
