These are my Hunter CFBs - about 12 plants. They're the variety that I conned JJB into growing. Smile

I'm growing Hunter on the south side and DFBs on north side (you can't see them) - only because they're easier to pick from the path on the north and the CFB's lean towards the path.

I think mine are too bedraggled to show a picture. They were originally sown in the early days of March when we had that lovely weather during the beginning of lockdown. Far too early, as they were very leggy and straggly when finally planted out. They may just have reached their allotted life span. Nonetheless they will be sown again next season. I have also grown merchant of venice which is very similar but yellow. The two are very pretty together in a stir fry.

I've just found your other thread about Leggy beans - I think you have the answer to why yours are exhausted now.

Interesting. Might confuse my husband, though!  Wink

I'm growing Cobra, which also has an RHS AGM and is supposed to crop well in a small area.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile

I'm all for confusing husbands (or at least mine) Smile. Poor next door's hubby has dementia, and we mislaid him today, luckily found him hiding behind a tree way up the top of the garden. That's when confusion is no laughing matter. I tell hubby to count his blessings....and eat his beans.

Nice to see at any age there’s an excuse for eating your veg. Smile
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
