What it doesn't mention on the link is that the beans grow above the foliage, making them much easier to see & harvest.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Oooh that sounds interesting.  I grew some purple french beans 2 years ago, and they were very prolific, but OH said he didn't like them, so I didn't do them again, but they were great in he winter in stews and things.  Might try them next year, if I still have a garden!   ;)
