  • When To Plant Out Climbing Cobra Beans?

    Hi Folks,

    Would appreciate your worldly thoughts on when to plant these out. They are currently about 5 inches in height living in my Polly tunnel.

    As always thank you
    Cheers

    When it's warm enough day & night, ie not yet. They need a minimum of 10c, but prefer 15-25c ish

    don't forget to harden them off too

      Cheers TS,

      Probably wait until May then? Just seen your updated message re temp requirements, thanks.

      Assume it's ok starting dwarf beans in the polly?

        Or put up a little poly tunnel for them.
        Expect the worst in life and you will probably have under estimated!

          I might as well leave them where they are for now, give me an extra couple of weeks to get the bed finished

                  I've only just sown my first climbing beans. I daren't let them out before the last frost which here is mid - late May. It does depend on where you are but frosts are forecast for the next few nights in most places so keep them in the tunnel.

                    Thanks Flum, I'll check the forecasts at the beginning of May

                      Not sowed my Frenchies yet apart from the dwarf ones I've got in the polytunnel which I sowed ages ago as an experiment. They were planted in root trainers and initially protected by a cold frame in the polytunnel when first planted out. They're now just in the tunnel and doing OK but they've slowed down and would have really struggled outside.

                      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?

                        Sorry the poly tunnel I meant was a small 12" high one using wire hoops.
