Runner Beans "Wisley Magic"

Maybe it's just the weather?

I grew Purple Peacock last year and LOVED them. This year I grew all sorts of different pole beans (from seeds from a swap) and loads of bush beans. Everything tasted fantastic except my much-loved PP which I picked after a cold/wet spell. Very weird.

Thanks for your thoughts Labradors2. Think I'll try the same ones again next year and just see what happens.

I love beans. Right now, only cowpeas are in season. I think I missed the suggested planting date for fall beans but I'm hoping that some early maturing beans might be okay, since I'm going to try to get things planted this weekend.
