chartpolski 27,383 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 The more you pick , the more you get. I used to leave them until they were big, but they tend to go “woody” so I pick them when they are smaller. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,442 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I tend to agree with Charts. I make a load of chutney every year and it’s better to be using 8/9 inch beans as they don’t need spining. Having said that, if you grow stringless varieties I suppose you can let them go on a bit. IMO . Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO . Jok. Well I'll stand by them. beans not wood or stringy. They are a stringless variety but I do still string them. If in any doubt I just snap them. The other thing I use a bean slicer you can tell straight away if you pass them through one of them. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 24,536 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I expected you guys that grow runners will use a slicer. This one I find brilliant as it slices and strings all in one go. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
