Morning all,
I have tried growing Borlotti beans for the first time this year so have little/no experience and know very little about them.
My first batch were hit by frost but the second lot have done really well and now stand 6ft+ on canes with flowers but very few pods for the size of the plants. Is this usual in that are these beans very late producers in a UK climate.? I would have expected more due to the past weather we've had here in Bucks.
Also, and hopefully once I actually have some bean pods to harvest !! How do you preserve. freezing or drying and if freezing do you blanche first.? Too many questions - Not enought time....
Any help out there.? THANKS
