Kitchen Garden Forum

Dear Primrose,
my pole beans are runner types this year; white enorma, czar and greek gigantes (real seed catalogue) all of which I am growing for SEED (butter beans - yum) so by the time they are ready for harvesting as dry pods the chilli oil will have worn off. Unless, of course, you are a thief and take them as green pods.......

Robo - I have thought of getting a wildlife cam but if the thieves are total strangers having their picture would not be helpful and if they are fellow plot holders I am not really sure I would want to know as it could cause a lot of problems. Yes I know pictures would be "proof" but it would still be their word against mine.

Regards Sally Wright.

Dear Sally, I must say, I have never heard of White Enorma before....

Dear OH,
moles sell it.
Regards Sally Wright.

Dear Sally, thank you so much for the infomation, much appreciated....would you say they crop as well as the red flowered variety?

Don't know OH; never grown any of them before. Just wanted to try growing butter beans this year.
Regards Sally Wright.

OH, could you be doing the same as I was when I read this,

I was confusing Enorma Runner beans, which have red flowers, with Enorma Butter beans which are white.


I've never grown butter beans

No I,ve never grown butter beans either. I,ve experimented with many vegs so that will have to be on the list for next year.

Exactly what I have done, Pa Snip, so, thank you for showing me the error of my ways....
