Runner beans are very strong beans; use the climbing varieties as a windbreak for regular green beans. Picked young, they are at least as tasty. If the beans hang too long, the individual beans (seeds) can be shelled. These are known as 'potato beans'. Runner beans are also quite resistant to salty winds.
