hello,
While searching for dual purpose veggies, I came across an article that said scarlett runner beans could be harvested green or left on vine to ripen and dry, so that you could pick them in fall as dried beans for throwing into soups and stews.
My question is: I really did think that scarlett runners stop producing beans if you don't keep them picked.... that if pods were left on vine, they stop producing altogether.
So.... has anyone tried leaving pods on plants to dry?
Or.... is there a another bean that will give me green beans plus dry beans in the Fall ? (region 7)
Thankyou for your thoughts and suggestions.
