  • Runner Bean Tubers

    Is it runner bean plants that produce tubers, which can be overwintered? If so, has anyone done so and been (bean - no pun intended) successful? Is it not something we can do in the UK with our funny weather?

        Cheers folks. I wondered if anyone has actually done in and with any success, maybe some storage tips?!?
