Somehow, beans and tomatoes varieties (most vegetables really) seem quite different in Europe and North America compared to perennials which seem pretty much the same on both sides of the Atlantic. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-10533521909681106732013-09-03T04:45:16.407-04:002013-09-03T04:45:16.407-04:00Did you mean the climbing runners/ploe or the Fren...Did you mean the climbing runners/ploe or the French/bush beans?<br />Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-5662184897929548562013-09-02T07:52:55.567-04:002013-09-02T07:52:55.567-04:00What would you say is your best variety?

It is actually pale green (unless it is over-mature) and not that tender. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-39984066100885931732013-09-02T03:35:32.523-04:002013-09-02T03:35:32.523-04:00We've grown Cosse Violette in the past.

It's disappointing that they turn green when cooked but a neighbour told me that if you are blanching them for freezing, the point at which they change colour is when they are done.

Though in my wee garden it rarely has the chance to age. I freeze green beans for winter, so many go there. The crop this year is excellent.<br />I am fond of the green bean salad that Edna Stabler popularized and is often served around here.
