Ahhh, gauntlet thrown!

Whether they’re called lima or butter, I like the baby, tender, light-green, fresh (vs dried) ones. Not a particular fan of the big, fat, dried, off-white ones. So sometimes I see lima, and other times I see butter. It makes recipe hunts interesting.

But assuming that Behr’s version above is using the dried version, that looks worth trying.

They all good cooked with hamhock or a lot of saltpork. Good with the bone out of a barbque shoulder also. Just don't give me them big gray ones. Theys nasty.

No, I don't like butter beans just because they ain't limas.

Dude.

I'm just sitting here thinking "well, he does cook his baked potatoes 4 hours".....then it hits me!

I like baked potatoes I just don't cook them often so it hasn't dawned on me until now. So I googled Baked potatoes in air fryer. Like every recipe has 5 stars.

I'm on it.

Do you use them in Asian cooking or what?

I’m planning on a bean teepee with scarlet runner beans and nasturtiums. I was looking at different ideas, and one said that scarlet runners can be eaten at any stage from flower to dried.

Does anyone actually do that? Separately from averting starvation, of course.

We use them for stir-fries or eat them fresh with spicy food (typically curry). My wife makes her own chili dips with fresh chili peppers & shrimp paste and dips the green beans in them like a veggie dip. I plant them at the base of our iron fence that surrounds our property. It provides great support for vining plants. You could eat scarlett runners while they are in the baby stage, but you have to cook them once they mature.

Good to know.

Do they actually taste like anything at the baby stage, or is it “you could eat” as in they won’t kill you?

They are alright but I would wait until they mature and cook them. It is almost time to sprout the bean seeds in my garage. I typically sprout about 25-40. How many are you going to plant?

Still fine-tuning that one. It would be nice if I had realized that my regular beans or bush rather than pole, and now I have to find ground space for them.

I’m guessing 8-10 for the teepee thing, and maybe another 2-4 just for looks on the gourd tunnels.

I keep hearing that you should only direct sow beans. Are you starting them in paper pots or something?

The Chinese yard beans that I grow require little maintenance. I have done both but normally start them in pots in March then transfer them to the ground by mid-April (sunny spot for sure). This gives you the freedom to take the plants inside if a freeze comes. Last year slugs ate some of the plants which never happened until last year.
