Try Aldi. Cheap as chips.
Runner beans remind me of wet Sundays at my grandfathers back garden picking these weird vegetables | |

My neighbour's got quite a large allotment, I supply him with Mackerel and the occasional Bass and Lobster in exchange for some fresh veg. He gave me a large bag of runner beans this morning, beautiful. | | | |

I had 11 last week mostly small stuff, but a few 3lbers, these soft lures are somin else honestly and that's using them in the neath estuary twice and down Mumbles which was a complete shock, me and the mrs just went down for a quick walk and a few drinks in the Pilot on Sunday had the rod in the van and lures so took them and stopped off casting here and there only playing at it really trying different retrieves, but had 3, unbelieveable stuff, can't wait to try my old marks with them, just hope we don't get to much rain and it doesn't get to cold, they could be a biggy or two just waiting. | |

Good weather forecast for next week, can't see me doing much.
I'm going to get me a few of those lures and hopefully give them a try later in the month. | | | |

Well if you only catch tiddlers Lifey, and have no catch to swop. I ve a glut of kidney beans youre. welcome to.
I'm slowly turning into one being as I've eaten so many this year.
I tried to freeze them last season, and threw loads away due to them tasting like a day old dogs dinner.
You can't beat newly picked. |  | | |

That's very kind of you SJ but we've got quite a few, as you say fresh is best.
I leave the tiddler catching to Max, those small ones he catches I use as bait. | | | |

I stopped growing Runners cos I'm the only bugger who eats them in our house....
The kids call them diamond beansns but aren't that keen
This year I grew Dwarf and French climbers down the allotment and have a freezer full for the winter....
Swanny is right though Lorr...most green veg freezes better if you blanch them first... | | | |

Kidney beans/runners.....same horse.
English look at me daft when I refer to runners as kidney beans ....I think it's a Welsh term, though entirely correct of course, just that we eat The seed pods and young seeds rather than the mature crop we use in chili con carne.... | | | |

Yes Mick.
One day ,surreal and warped humor/humour will find a place .
I m growing rhubarb even though I tried to kill it off ,mainly because it was unsightly. Anyway, throwing a bottle of Cuquenas at it didn't help but we had played badly that day-Cardiff game like.
Anyway, off to Aldi soon as I have my column to write for discerning shoppers.
Peace in the Valley. | |

Why do older people get so excited over runner beans?
There's an old fella in his 70's that grows them goes round our street handing them out to anyone who will take them.
If you politely refuse them, he goes all psycho on you as if you are dissing his beans.
The cranky old twát! |  |

Killer beans are ok and for a kid they re interesting to watch growing.
I fail to understand giant pumpkin and marrows being a centre of a love in.
have a feeling Jill will take no further part in this thread | |

I've been told that by a few Swanny. I reckon that's where I went wrong.
Just call me jolly green giant, I've ate so many this year. | | | |

Growing beans and blackberrying is an art.
Yesterday a young man 20 ish, his dog was chasing around my setter, he couldn't put him on a lead as his arms were taken up with dishes of blackberrys he had been picking. He said he needed to get to work and get out and pick them early, so it isn't only old people that grow beans and forage.

Just bring them up to the boil, then rinse them in cold water, drain and freeze. | |
