Don't want to upset anyone but I've just picked 12 of mine. Pods full about 8" long. Lots more growing nicely.History teaches us that history teaches us nothing. - HegelComment

I'm told you can eat the flowers but haven't tried it. I have eaten some of the leaves though - rather like a mild spinach taste.Comment
