This was my first year growing these (normally grow runners) after a
shaky start they have grown well and cropped well, they are so much
easier to use than runners I shall stick to them for the future.

My question is having just got back from two weeks away, there are a lot
of large pods starting to ripen, can one use the ripe beans dried (or
maybe frozen) do they need boiling?
