    3 2 1 lift off

    At last my runner beans are up and running. They came up and seemed to stall to catch their breath. I was worried for a while. But now they are zooming up the canes.

    My french climbing Cobra are about near the top of the canes.
    I was worried about these as they were cheap off ebay, but they seem OK up to now.

    Every thing seems late, am I the only one ?

    I think we're all late this year Jimmy, but my beans are finally climbing and I've found one bean about as long as my thumbnail

      Yes, my beans are about 2 weeks late and very hit and miss. Some are a foot high with flowers and tiny beans on, but not wanting to climb, others are top of the canes with few or no flowers... another strange year.

        I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

          My scarlet emperor have reached 6ft with a fair few flowers but the Serbian beans sown and planted at the same time are only a ft tall.

              Things have certainly taken of in the last week or so.

              The longest/tallest has an equivalent height of about 10ft and the beans themselves are well on their way now.
