butter beans...

[ckfe]

can you grow them? or are they just a version of broad bean or something?

[Snadger]

Hope so.............I've got a row of Tesco's finest dried butter beans growing!

[piskieinboots]

can't see why not, unless they have been treated to stop 'em growing they will be the same as any other bean seed

Lima beans, aka butter beans (Phaseolus Lunatus).... need a growing season of about 4 months with relatively high temperatures, warmer than that needed by French or Runner beans.

I grow White Emergo (runner) as a butter bean http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...eds_12941.html
