Home-Grown Haricot Beans
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you could please help me, as you have helped so many others. I want to do some haricot beans, and
am wondering if you could tell me how to do them, and at what stage of maturity you pick them. I should be very grateful if you would please answer in your page in The Listener as I don’t always get time to listen to your session. Hoping you will be able to help me.

You must buy the proper haricot bean for sowing, from a seedsman. Ordinary haricot beans from the grocer, such as we use for a vegetable, will not do for planting. Grow them like a Scarlet Runner, and leave them until thoroughly matured. Then pluck them up, roots and all, and hang them in a shed to dry. You can then shell the beans (or seeds) from the pods, They will be the "eating" haricot bean. I believe that you can do Lima Beans in the same way.
