              Here are our Bridgwater Beans - sharing growing space with sweet peas and some butter-head lettuce.

                Think you sent me some of these a couple of years ago Zigs (much appreciated as always) but I found them pretty stringy.
                That said, all my seeds rotted this year so have begged some 'Enorma' from the in-laws...

                  Maybe you let the grow too large, they are best harvested at about 4"-5" long, before you can see the swelling beans in the pods.
