    Haricot Beans!

    I have grown some climbing Haricot beans from seed which I bought from Seeds of Italy they were wonderful and grew quite well until I planted them out into my garden..Some are doing extremely well but a few have died back and I have no idea why this is happening. I wonder if anyone could shine some light on why this is happening please?

    Because it is windy, probably.

      The seed packet tells a bit of a story, I had some yard long beans last year from the same company and the same happened to them. You just have to take on board that some of the stuff from Italy needs a bit of extra TLC especially some of the more unusual beans. Wait a couple of week later than runner beans and give them some protection especially against cool/cold winds. Am having another go at the yard long this year but will not be putting them out for a few weeks yet.

        I grew the yard long up a wigwam. They seemed to suffer with the winds we get around here so I clothed the teepee in polythene. Still didn't get any beans though.
        Unlike you gojiberry, I gave up!

        Good luck with yours!

          It's too early to put French beans out.
