My Romano beans are still blooming and I am still picking them! I love a big pot of the beans with a chunk of smoked ham hock. You have to cook them longer than regular string beans. Especially if you let them fatten up so that the beans inside are like peas. If they get reallly fat, I shell them and throw the green beans in and then they are like butter when they are done. The best is when all three stages get into the stew!
