They are greenbeans,but rather than grow to about 18" tall they grow up and climb similar to runner beans.

I have three different types of dwarf french beans, they are the typical supermarket type green bean, but one sort has purple pods which go a 'normal' green on cooking. You (or anyone else) are more than welcome to them.

PS I'm after some yin-yang beans (pea bean) if anyone has them. I've a fair amount of stuff to offer in return, I'm sure I could find you something you need.
