Did you swap a cow for it?

They look more like a borlotti bean, they are lovely to eat like runners and they can be shelled to go in stews too.

My borlottis are rounder and more lightly flecked.

I'd risk the definete answer as absolutely not. Two sheds shall put me right.

Yes it deffo looks like a runner, and no they are all slightly different in shades and size, and yes you can grow them next year after all frost has gone.
