Dwarf French Bean Annabelle is a very early and quick growing variety. Pick the green pencil pods when they are young and small and cook them whole. We think they have a wonderful flavour
Sow: start these off in pots or modules placed in an unheated greenhouse or even on a window during April or May. You can sow directly into the sol but wait until mid as they really do not like cold soil. You can sow as late as July for a later harvest.
Grow: plant out after hardening off when about 15cm tall after all frost danger has passed. Annabelle, being a dwarf variety, does not require support. French Beans are self pollinating. They cope well with drier summers
Enjoy: pick young and cook whole or sliced or leave the pods at the end of the season for drying. They are super in winter casseroles. All of our French beans freeze well.
