You should have some in your pack - definitely worth sticking them and leaving until early Autumn.
Weinlanderin - Climbing French Bean
This is a Swiss heirloom pole bean. "Weinlanderin" translates as "maid of the wine country."
The beans are stunning on the vine. Pale green stringless pods with lovely purple mottling or streaks. They sometimes have fully purple pods, not a sign of crossing but just its growth habit. They can grow to 7-9 inches long, but are best eaten slightly smaller at 5-6 inches if using fresh. They grow huge on my plot. Beautiful bean.
These are also a multi-purpose bean and can be eaten fresh or dried. There are a huge number of beans per pod - so well worth sticking some in a corner to just get on with it for drying.
