It’s Bean Worthwhile for Borlotti’s!
We love growing Borlotti Beans, the red pods look exotic & gorgeous in the garden & we mix them with some climbing Sweet Peas, this year we used White Ensign.

Any we do not use are dried and used through winter in casseroles (although I admit we tend to eat them all fresh.) -
