We finished picking and selling the scarlet runner beans a few months ago. Over the season when we sold them to eat fresh we probably sold over a hundred kilograms. Since then, we have left them on the vines to dry.
Today Liam picked the last of them off the vines.
Don't they look cute peeking out of their pod like that?
I think they are the most gorgeous looking bean.
Over the next few days we'll pod the beans, put our planting stock aside and then divide what's left into beans to sell and beans to use ourselves over winter.

I've just eaten some for dinner fried up with some onion and garlic, a bit of tomato and some spices on toast. YUM!!
