Both, I would think (I'm growing them for the first time this year) - so I plan to pick & cook some the pods whole like a french bean when they are young, and to let some of the pods mature - either for shelling & eating fresh, or for drying for both seed for next year and for dried beans for winter soups etc etc.Originally posted by Dane End Dolly View PostSo being a little confused, i think This bean should be treated like a french bean for growng and eating or is it a bean that needs to be grown to be shelled like a borlotti

Kentucky and Borlotti are both french beans.
ah, I know what you mean. To eat green or leave to dry? You can do both (you can with any french bean).
My Kentucky's never turned yellow last year, so I let them all dry. They were really good actually, they fattened up quickly and produced lots of shelly and dried beans for storing.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
