My veggie garden is fenced to keep the dogs out. I planted these against the fence, what a beautiful sight with their pretty purple flowers. Pick the beans daily to prevent them from becoming stringy.Use young beans in salad for a splash of colour. Great taste fresh or cooked.

An absolute winner. We have them growing in a couple of places in the garden and they just carry on and on producing.

We planted these a few weeks ago and they are LOVING our mild Durban winter. They do seem to be quite sensitive to hours of light though - our plants that are slightly shaded are about half the size of the ones in the full sun bed.

These beans are fantastic: We planted 5 seeds, which yielded beans in abundance! We were very happy with them, and so were all our neighbours. The plants grew along our wall, over the fencing, and finally curled their way through the barbed wire at the top, which made our wall look beautiful with their stunning little flowers. The beans taste good too, just don’t wait too long before you harvest them as the pods become stringy. When this happens, best to pop the beans out and enjoy on their own! I managed to harvest about 50 dried seeds too; these will keep you happy for a very long time.

We are having great success with these beans and today we picked so much and it was enough to share with two of our neighbors.
