Runner beans for drying?

[jennybb]

Hello.

I am growing borlottis and haricots for drying. Is it possible to use runner beans to dry? I have a lot and only like them fresh when young - if I let the big ones dry will the beans be ok to store and use? I don't see why not, but have never heard of it being done - is there a good reason for this?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know you can do it. I've never done it - because I don't really like runners much - prefer climbing french which I do dry.

Cheers, I'll give it a go.
