won't grow for me
I've tried growing these 2 years running and they don't even get as far as producing flowers that open, let alone beans, Maybe it's too cold/wet here (Staffordshire Moorlands) but if so that ought to be mentioned in the description.

serpent beans

String Beans
Am looking forward to growing and tasting these beans. The quality are - as usual high and would expect near 100% germination.
