Runner beans are ready to pick when they are about 20 cm long. The runner bean
has bunches of flowers which mature at different rates. So each bean on
the stalk is a different age. To harvest beans when they are ready, but
not too old, the beans have to be picked every day. If the runner beans
are too old when picked, they become fibrous and stringy, and unpleasant
to eat. Also, the maturing beans will send a signal to stop further
flowers being produced, so less beans will develop.
