Dwarf runner beans "Hestia"

[Bren In Pots]

I grow 4 to a florists bucket with a few twigs added to help support them and like Alice says they do look pretty in flower.

I've been doing Hestia following instructions from a book (am a beginner). It says they ought to survive a frost so I stuck them outside over the weekend. They're about 10 in. tall too, and have been hardened off for a couple of weeks.

Should I cover them up? I'll be gutted if my first project goes wrong!!

I've hardened mine off too...however have put them into larger pots, but they look a bit sick and floppy, and I've pinched out the leading shoot, to make them more bushy...but still look ill I don't want these to fail either!!! Do you think the plants will perk up or not?

Ours went the same way deezy, but they seem alright now and even have open flowers on them now.

Mine are all floppy too. They are in the unheated greenhouse and are listing over the sde of the pot.

We made a small wigwam out of foot long garden canes for them.

Good idea - a wee job for me tomorrow then.
