I think I was the Jacob's Cattle Gold origin, JJB. Don't tell me I was so excited about not sending in totally rubbish envelopes that I didn't label properly... Well, there's always next year!
I haven't even let myself look at my bean varieties yet. Maybe I could stop being lazy and actually cook some of my dried beans to be sure I like them and want to grow them again. And to be sure I can cook them from dried because I've never done it before!
Sorry, I digress. I'll be back with an actual list soon. What with you and Veggie getting me all excited about sowing beans.

I’m only growing Blauhilde beans they’re CFB that have purple pods that turn green when cooked.
RE: Beans List 2023 - Small chilli - 11-04-2023
I’ve still not decided yet.
Definitely a dwarf french bean . Not chosen variety yet.
Still on the fence about runners
RE: Beans List 2023 - Veggie - 11-04-2023
At the moment its:-
Broad Beans - Crimson Flowered
DFB - Random mix
CFB - Cosse Violette & District Nurse
There'll be more.
RE: Beans List 2023 - MartinH - 11-04-2023
This year I'm growing:
Runner bean "Armstrong" (Premier Seeds Direct)
Dwarf French "Aquilon" (saved seed, originally Real Seeds)
Climbing French "Cobra" (Moreveg)
That's plenty considering we don't like beans all that much
RE: Beans List 2023 - toomanytommytoes - 11-04-2023
Climbing: Hunter, Cobra, Sunshine
Dwarf: Capitano, Nassau
RE: Beans List 2023 - PyreneesPlot - 11-04-2023
This year I have -
Dwarf Efequince, Rocquencourt & Maxidor for fresh and freezing, and Dalmatin for drying.
Climbing just Cosse Violette both home saved and some old bought seeds, and Yard Long.
I'm also growing soya having grown it 2 years ago and then frozen the pods without trying them, I found them recently and liked them a lot!!

I have absolutely loads of beans in my seed box, but not even thought about sowing them yet. Flowers and other veg come first. Beans and most of my squashes will be later.
