Summary
MORE delicate and often less stringy than runner beans, French beans are ideal as a hot accompaniment or lightly steamed and then cooled to add to salad nicoise or in a mixed-bean salad with vinaigrette.
They are ideal to grow in a small garden as many of them are dwarf, or in the ornamental garden, where the climbing varieties will twine around supports and produce pretty flowers before the pods. While most varieties are green, you can also grow yellow, purple and cream beans. They need a warm, sunny spot and fertile, moisture-retentive soil, with some additional organic matter which has been added the previous autumn or winter.See the full content of this document
