I've already picked a good couple of dozen 17 -18" long beans like these but I'm not sure if I'm going to have another crop ready in time for my first shows. They really have been exceptional, easily reaching these lengths with no sign of bean bulge. I shall go through the vines tomorrow and start to straighten any bent ones that are about 10" or so. Come Monday I will start to pick any beans that reach the desired length and store these in a damp cloth with a wooden batten to keep them straight. Further beans will be picked during the week as and when they reach size.

These are my best ever runner beans.
