tug 'em orff like a rampant chavvy woman :-D :-D :-D

Well h'actchoolie (bless moi) I hold the stalk in one hand and bend the bean upwards and.................................






give 'em a smart yank :-D

when the freezer and belly are full and the neighbours are turning them away I leave them on the vine so the beans can grow huge - even more tasty and better to freeze than pods :-D :-D :-D
