Kenyan fine green beans?

[smallblueplanet]

Question - ya know when you buy 'fine beans' from the supermarket, they're little thin green beans????? Well so are they a particular type of green bean or just any ol' bean picked early? We've grown climbing french beans and they've never seemed so 'fine' as the supermarket ones?

They are Kenyan Safari Dwarf French Beans available from T & M. Lovely!

Last time I saw these they were in a warehouse in Ostend Airport waiting for me to bring them home to Blighty in a truck having just been flown in from Africa.

Then grow your own because they are lovely!!

Then some poor Kenyan farmer would be out of a job LJ .

Thanks LJ - are they available as a climber? I always think that dwarf beans are a waste of space.

[Lesley Jay]

They are the ones I know and grow. You get huge bunches of beans. Well worth growing.

[pigletwillie]

Well, they are on the list to grow, sound scrummy!

[Lesley Jay]

Sorry SBP it is Suttons where I buy them from not T&M.

You're losing it LJ!

Thanks, but I think I might try Cobra, I prefer climbing beans.
