Twool Prop it ‘n’ Crop it - Climbing French Bean 'Blue Lake'

£7.00

Sow and support a delicious crop of French beans with this winning combination of seeds and twine.

'Blue Lake' French beans, carefully chosen from Thomas Etty heritage seeds, were first introduced to gardens in 1885. The climbing vines produce pretty mauve flowers and a heavy crop of delicious beans over a long harvest period. Freshly harvested, the pods are pencil-thin and stringless with a sweet flavour. At the end of the season, a few pods can be left on the plant to dry and used as white haricot beans.

Prop your crop with award-winning, super sustainable British Twool twine made from the fleece of rare breed Whiteface Dartmoor sheep.

Brand Focus

Twool

With a commitment to sustainability, British materials and heritage manufacturing, the team at Twool has created a range of superb twines and ties using wool from rare-breed Whiteface Dartmoor sheep. By collecting wool from farmers who practise regenerative agriculture, dying it using low-impact dyes and spinning in Yorkshire, Twool offers a sustainable alternative to imported jute twine. Not only does Twool have multiple uses in the garden, but it's perfect for tying parcels and gifts. The only challenge is choosing a colour!
