Dwarf French Beans

Masterpiece

This is a very good cropper and is very much in demand and has been grown by direct drilling and by plugs.

The pods can get mud splatter in rainy weather.

In dry weather the young seedlings can be attacked by birds so some netting may be needed.

Cooking

The usual method is to wash them and cut off tops and tails.

Pull off stringy edges if they exist. Cut diagonally into 2 inch / 50 cm chunks and boil in salted water for 6-8 minutes then drain.

Serve with a knob of butter.
