Re: Runner Beans

I think this warm and wet weather has really spurred on the beans, I have runners, French and broad beans in a raised bed, the runners are really reaching for the sky.

Re: Runner Beans

I bought some more canes to day to start some more off and the shop were selling potted plants for a £1 each, so I have planted the two pots and some more seeds next to them. I am either going to end up with beans for life or none, we shall see.

I understand they can be frozen if necessary.

Same here, I find that fascinating how the flowers turn into beans. I didn't plant any French beans this year.

I hope you enjoys yours tonight Mups. Let us know what they were like.
