Apologies for the quality of the photo - but these are my "Magic Beans". My Dad until recently, grew his own veg and had done so for about 50 years. He always saved seed from some produce for next year's crop. This included tomatoes, runner beans, sunflowers, broad beans etc. Anyway, over the years his runner beans developed into black beans as above and he gave me some about 5 years ago, to carry on the family tradition. The runners from these beans give nice long pods with very little stringing. I have never seen any in a seed catalogue - white beans - but not black.
Like my Dad I always save seed for next year's crop. These ones that I picked today are huge as you can see from the 20p piece.
