do you have one that dose really well ,,,
can't remember the name, but it has white flowers. All runner beans produce lots, pick when 3 / 4 inchs, and keep picking. I top and tail and cut into chunks and freeze in bags. I don't bother precooking.
Prefer french beans, esp purple podded.
Daniel's Defiance always does well for me, and won me a prize at last year's show.
Red Rum, heavy crops & has the added bonus of very little in the way of leaves which makes it much easier to find the pods!
My beloved's favourite is 'Painted Lady' lovely pink / white flowers and good flavour. Mine is Stannah 'cos their BIG ! Cheers, Tony

I grow Painted Lady,White Lady and Enorma....
The White Lady is a superb bean to grow never gets tough or stringy..
My favourite is Butler. Tender, stringless pods, unlike some of the older varieties.

That'll be 'White Lady' best runner bean on the market, bar none! ....Good length, birds don't peck off the flowers, perform well during drought and they're stringless.

St George was a new variety, introduced last year, and I found it to be excellent. I am also a 'fan' of White Achievement. Both produce beans of good size, flavour and plenty of them.
