How to sow and grow butter beans

What are butter beans?
Butter beans - or wax beans - are pale yellow green beans with a creamy, buttery flavor.
This variety produces lots of tender stringless beans in bunches of 4 or 5. They're best when they're about 13-14 cm long.
In France, butter beans are more popular than green beans and are eaten more often. You don't see them as much in the Netherlands. That's why we grow our own 😉 The good news is: that's not hard to do.
