I picked the last of my French Climbing Beans, grown organically. A couple of freezer bags full of beans for the autumn/winter. In terms of value for money then these are superb. The crop has been magnificent this year.
As you can see they have gone to seed but not dried out yet. It is a purple podded variety (Cobra) with seeds saved from last year. I cooked these in biryani spices with tomato purée, home grown onions, red peppers, garlic and a few green beans that had not gone to seed. I wanted to see a range of colours. Truly delicious.
