  • Help with growing!

    I am growing runner beans and sweet corn and the plants seem to be growing well but im unsure as to when the veg should start to grow any advice?

  • #2
    Approximate time between sowing and picking:
    Runner Beans: 12-14 weeks
    Sweet Corn: 14 weeks

    How long ago did you plant them? How big are they?

    P.S. Welcome to the Vine

        This is my first year too, I just looked them up in my book!
        I planted my runners in April too, but they're more like 6ft tall. Do you know what variety yours are?

        Sadly I didn't end up with enough room to transplant my sweet corn, so my Mum took it to grow with my nephew.

          That does seem slow for runners. I only planted mine at the beginning of June and they are already about 4 foot high.

            They may well have been nipped by a late frost if they were outdoors in April, which would have set them back considerably.
