Has Anyone Grown Teenie Beanie Beans ?

[snohare]

I was in B&Q the other day looking for Scarlet Emperor Runner Bean seedlings ('Cos the local garden centre is useless at vegetables - it's a sad day when B&Q have better plants than the garden centre !) and saw some Teenie Beanies, so bought some of those instead.
Given the name, I rather assumed that they would either be tiny pods, or dwarf plants - which is it ? Has anyone any experience of growing these, and how they compare to S.E.'s ?

Never grown them, but found this for you Runner Bean Rotbluhende (Teenie Beanie) Seeds | Notcutts | Notcutts

Cor - ten centimetre plant, fifteen centimetre pods...!

Self planting, then I assume ?

Thats what i thought snow,only 10cm,looking on some seed sites,it says to support them with canes or netting,also,from the looks of the pic,it is a climber,so if no one else has grown them,you could be the first,then let us know,uyp to now,it's anyones guess,

I have a packet of T&M seeds
Bunches of short broad pods 6" long , 3/4" wide. Keep picking as baby pods - they're stringless then!
Plant out against supports such as canes or netting.

Oh dear. Looks like I need to build another Munty frame !
On the plus side, perhaps that (danged) wabbit won't be able to climb the assault course-style netting to get at the pods...

I am growing them, it's the pods that are short. My plants are about 3 foot and growing.....
