Anyone else yet to grow any beans?

[binley100]

I've resoed some runners today to replace decapitated ones, and I'm still poking mange tout seeds in gaps.

............and this is the second time I've posted this.. Someone's been pinching my posts

Count me as well.I had to put a few seeds more,see how they go.
If anybody fancies climbing runner Painted Lady,I have some spare seeds (no climbers for me this year).

I have two rows of french beans grown in guttering and planted out recently.
I have one row of kelvedon wonder looking OK
I have tried telephone peas, a tall one. I have re-sown them 3 times and still only a couple come up.
Runners going in tomorrow.

have you tried chitting them first? That way you'll know if they're viable or not

[hamsterqueen]

planted runner beans straight into ground last weekend and dwarf beans into raised beds.

You would think by now I would have twigged that June comes so close after May!

I'm sowing some more today (White Emergo & Yin Yang)

Normally I grow beans in guttering and get good germination
Not normally needed to do this with peas.
The kelvedon wonder did OK.
My re-sow 4th time with KW.

a pea bean from the lost gardens of heligan - have no idea of name as given to me and only one has germinated so am saving the whole bush for seed.


and to be honest there is approx another 4 types of bush bean i am growing and i cannot remember the names and the same for another 3 types of pole beans

I think i have become bean obsessed

Yay, another convert

[Snadger]

Sowed my Scarlet runners, White runners, climbing Borlotti and Tesco's butter beans today around an 8 pole wigwam.
Emptied all four packets broadcast around the wigwam the pushed them in with my finger. Old seed, hence the reason for sowing full packets!

I had sown 3 lots of french bean ealier so the bush beans are planted but the climbers are still to plant when I decide where I'm putting them!

[Alison]

All my climbing beans are now planted out but I have 3 root trainers worth of bolotti beans to plant out this weekend. However had a few problems last year with French beans and didn't end up sowing the ones that I eventually planted out until about nowish and had really good crops so don't worry

[zazen999]

I've nearly moved all the onions out of my future bean patch [which was also last year's but never mind].

So, I've got some to go in this weekend, and the ones sown last weekend will be popped into any spaces as they grow.

I'm also having problems with pea beans germinating.....meh
