Borlotto Bean - Lingua di Fuoco
Lingua di Fuoco literally translates as Tongues of Fire. They are in effect a climbing French Bean and can be eaten young in the pod, either raw or cooked. Alternatively they can be shelled and used like a flageolet bean or shelled and dried and used as a haricot bean. Unfortunately the red speckling on the pods disappears when they are cooked.
Autumn Raspberry - Fall Gold
Only three or four ripen at a time but it is only their first year. They taste sweet and there are no pips. Hopefully next year the harvest should be pretty substantial.
