I've been meaning to ask how yours are doing? We are getting some really nice looking flowers and a few large beans on Painted Lady and Insuks Wang Kong - not enough to brag about, but wow, such huge bean pods. I think they might have a chance of producing some seeds. Do you let them dry on the vines like Black Eyed... cowpeas? (I'm going to have to get used to calling them cowpeas)
I think of runner beans as ornamental too. adashofpepper chose to eat a Marbles pepper the other day - he quickly found out they are very-very hot. I need to make a special bed with fencing just for ornamentals - Runner beans will be the backdrop.
