Serbian/Siberian beans

[Bren In Pots]

I'm growing Serbian/Siberian beans and they're getting fat in their pods I know for seeds beans I leave them until their pods go crispy but for eating can I pick and use them now, either way do they need boiling for 10 minutes.

yes you can use them now, and yes they need the 10 min boil Tis the same for all French beans

A kindly person has given me half a dozen seed of POLETSCHKA climbing beans which I understand are from Ukraine, so there's my challenge for next season. Will of course post details of success (or otherwise)
