Flat Beans.

[ann-the-nan]

I have just planted out my first (ever) loo roll flat beans. Boy, what a root system. now, Do they grow tendrils like peas, twist round the poles like runners, or do I have to ties them to the poles? Also, do I pinch them out?

They twist like runners, so you may have to tie them in at a foot or so to 'start them off'. Pinch them out when they get to the height you can reach to to pick them!
What variety are they?

The variety is called "Hunter".
