Where are the Sliced Frozen green beans?

No idea Auntieflo try looking for Cornflour in my Tesco and you’ll be disappointed, they don’t even have a space on the shelf where it always lives. Staff members are non the wiser either.

Because the whole ones are French beans and the sliced ones are runner beans and it was a dreadful year for runner beans?

I’m only speculating because my runner beans this year were useless.. Usually I have to give them away to anyone who’ll take them😬

iceland had them in

these?

I’ve not managed to get the frozen sliced ones either. Using frozen whole green beans instead. Not sure why there’s a shortage though.

Lathyrus, it was a dreadful years for beans. We usually have loads but had a pitiful amount this year. Loads of tomatoes and chillis

The acorns are also HUGE this year

I was in Waitrose the other day and there were no frozen vegetables at all. I wanted sweetcorn but no joy.

I had so many tomatoes I think I gave myself potassium poisoning 😬 Peppers (not chilli ones) too which I’ve never been able to grow very well.

Beans and mange tout - disaster. I haven’t dug the parsnips and celeriac but I’m not hopeful about that either.

Lathyrus the runner beans here went mad I had far more than I could cope with they just kept coming and coming

I have a whole drawer in the freezer of tomato sauce I had to make and freeze!

I made ratatouille of a sort. The squashes took over the garden🎃

We didn't do squash as I'm the only person who will eat it and I can't say it is my favourite

I'm missing them too.

Thanks Janejudge.

sitting on hands, sitting on hands, sitting on hands! hmmmm

I love runner beans and really look forward to their season, but as others have said there just wasn’t any in our area. Then we were out on a day trip and stopped at a greengrocers and she had piles of them so we have been making the 55 min car journey every week to stock up.

Yes, I miss the frozen, sliced runner beans…

Sainsbury have them www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/peas--beans---sweetcorn/sainsburys-british-sliced-green-beans-1kg
Mine at home were rubbish.

Would it be hijacking your post if I enquired where the Blackcurrants are these days. Blueberries seem to have taken their place. Whilst home grown Blueberries are quite nice, shop bought ones are often tasteless. I used to love making Beetroot and Blackcurrant relish but no more. 😢

Where I live blackcurrants were growing wild and delicious.

I agree, dreadful year for beans. I planted runner beans three times and they never even germinated.

I agree with posters who wondered if it was the very hot weather which affected runner beans BUT I had a very good late crop in September/October in W. London. Maybe the commercial growers just cut their losses and took them out?

Maybe they were short of staff to plant them water them and pick them?
