Kentucky Wonder Wax

[Dane End Dolly]

So being a little confused, i think This bean should be treated like a french bean for growng and eating or is it a bean that needs to be grown to be shelled like a borlotti

i would love some advice please

Both, I would think (I'm growing them for the first time this year) - so I plan to pick & cook some the pods whole like a french bean when they are young, and to let some of the pods mature - either for shelling & eating fresh, or for drying for both seed for next year and for dried beans for winter soups etc etc.

I'm not a bean fan myself but hope this link helps.

Kentucky and Borlotti are both french beans.

ah, I know what you mean. To eat green or leave to dry? You can do both (you can with any french bean).

My Kentucky's never turned yellow last year, so I let them all dry. They were really good actually, they fattened up quickly and produced lots of shelly and dried beans for storing.
