Hi, Beverly. Good to know! I loved them and have to grow them again next year. Thanks for the reminder!

NOTE TO THOSE IN THE HEAT: these do JUST GREAT in the heat (114 degrees here a couple of weeks ago). Just picked another large handfull today, and a handful of these is a pot! I blanch them for 1-1/2 minutes, just long enough for them to begin to darken their bright red color (will turn purple, then green if cooked long enough).

That was my favorite dish when I was little. We grow ‘parisiennes’, a French market variety. The only detractor is the aching back after hunching over the plants to search for their green pods. Maybe I’ll build one of those raised garden bed tables for them next year. Beans don’t have terribly large root masses, do they?
