Product Description
This borlotti bean variety is one suited to our cooler climate. Grow borlotti beans and eat the pods small and tender or allow them to reach full size and eat the beans inside. They're delicious in soup, or as a bean ratatouille with lots of fresh coriander and flakes of Parmesan (see p304 Garden Cookbook). On a line of canes, it will climb to about 2 metres and makes one of the most ornamental vegetables you can grow. Half-hardy annual.
- Sow: April-July
- Seeds: 75
Sowing: Soak seed for half an hour before sowing. Sow under cover from mid-April or direct sow outside (5cm deep) after the last frosts from mid May to July. Final Thinning/Planting Distance: Plant out seedlings (in late May) when they are 5cm tall, spacing them 25cm apart, against their support cane. Harvesting: May be eaten as green pods but mainly grown for their delicious beans inside.
