That's the one I used for the Purple Peacock and Yellow Pole. I planted the YP only because the seeds weren't labeled and I really wanted to try the PP. I didn't plant the Blue Lake (I rechecked my notes), but it looks like people who are recommending them for canning planted the bush variety.
I dehydrated some of the runner beans when I was picking 50 at a time. I thought I'd save them for the winter and add them to lentil stews. They don't look appetizing, but they make a nice snack, and I hope they last until winter! I blanched them first.
I don't eat canned vegs either, and I wouldn't have a place to store them anyway.
