Growing beans for the beans rather than the pod

I would have to grow Lima(butter)beans under cover up here, I know we have a warming climate, but it's not quite reached us just yet.

I have to admit mine grow ok but they are not the heaviest of croppers. Am still to play about with varieties. So want to try the zebra ones but must resist buying for this year.

Wow, some great information here!

I must admit I'm a bit confused... other than borlotti and yin yang, I have no idea what types to go for for pinto style beans.. butter beans... My brain is crying out for a table listing out the different types of beans and what names they have when you want to purchase them. I think in my mind I'm already creating that table, to organise it in my own mind. Thank you all
