Strange because what I liked about them was they were huge and still stringless. I didn’t think they were fibery at all. I mostly steam them too, so not that cooked. I guess different conditions produce different results, and no reason to be sorry. I’m extremely happy with them and grow them every year.
Mine at 6 inches would be the size of twine, they grew long first than filled out. Some were 12 inches and extremely skinny. As time when on they filled out. What you describe doesn’t sound like what i was growing. Mine were from Burpee.
I have not tried a lot but quite a few. I’m still evaluating these. This is the 2nd year for about half of these. I’ll decide at the end of the year, if they are keepers. I only grow pole beans currently.
Blue Lake Black Seeded - Not as common here in the U.S. among the many seed companies, but a bit later and larger
than the white seeded strain. Many favor it for its better flavor as well. Trials have demonstrated it will
provide for larger plants and a greater cold hardiness allowing for earlier plantings as compared to the more
common white seeded variety. Untreated seed. Purchased from Gourmet Seeds
