Runner Beans

[Cider Boys]

Well oldherbaceous, I've certainly learned a lesson, stick to what you know works and don't buy seed just because they are cheap.

I, of course, could blame 'my cook' for not boiling them for long enough but my gentlemanly discretion wouldn't allow that.

Best wishes

You could spend a bit more and try Red Flame - they have always done well for me - or read this and reach your own conclusion http://apps.rhs.org.uk/planttrials/Tria ... 202006.pdf

Thanks for the link Geoff, a very interesting read. I notice that Enorma also did well a long with Red Flame. I was pleased to read that they grew them up four pole bamboo wigwams, the only way to grow beans in my humble view.
