    Hi

    I did last year and they were lovely. Recommend them as they give height and the beans grow up them - and if you get them spot on ready they are gorgeous.

      I grew 8 plants of Incredible last year (should have been a block of 9 but one didn't get planted out for some reason), each had 3 to 5 cobs on with very minimal effort. The cobs weren't that big but were complete so OH must have taken the hint when I mentioned that you should tap the stems now and again. I don't really like it much but he insisted that I buy a pack of seeds in the supermarket and it was the only variety so I don't know how it compares with other home grown varieties - the plants did seem quite a bit shorter than some people mentioned their's were which could have been an advantage in windy weather. The picture was taken last August.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          I have grown successfully over the last two years, but they are in the tunnel given our northerly position. I grew Swift last year and doing the same this year, but I've been kindly sent a few Lark in the seed swap.

          I am not going to try minipop again. The plants were huge, but still only three cobs on each.
