How late do you sow French beans?

I've sown a load in modules to fill a gap in my bean bed where I pulled out some purple mange tout plants in the hope of a late crop from them. They're up and doing nicely but I wondered whether it's worth making another sowing for the greenhouse. Any thoughts anyone (apart from why on earth anyone would want more beans at this time of year!)?

I just do! The free seeds on the mags make this an easier choice. You can get lucky, but strangely weather does no repeat itself so expect losses but be positive.
