For me it has to be the Cobra.
Excellent taste and texture, good croppers and very forgiving to look after. Start off germinating on a damp cloth, transfer to 3" pots when big enough and grow on in the greenhouse until approx 12" tall. Transplant out to a bed or a growbag, water and then enjoy lots of beans. Tend to pick at about 5" for best flavour although they will grow to about 7". If possible pick just before cooking, although they will keep well in a fridge. Don't leave them on the plant too long or production will slow.
Continued cropping quite late on in the year in 2007. Had 8 plants in a standard growbag. next to a south facing fence with netting up against it, nip the tips out when they reach 5 - 6 feet high. Works for me ! |
