I like Green Windsor, its a bit later, tender even when larger beans. With Aquadulce I find the flavour to be richer and sweeter when beans are large and pods are just going from green to a bit yellow. There is some snobbism about “picking beans small for top flavour” but you have a higher proportion of bitter skin at that stage, and a smaller harvest.
It won’t be too long now!
