Which beans to try?

[Flummery]

You might get a marginally lower yeild yes, it depends on what you want from your plant. Some varieties, people eat some and save some. But you will still get decent yeilds if you leave them on. I've found if you take them off to dry they just go wrinkly. They really need to mature on the plant. You could try 2 wigwams - some to eat and some to dry?

I have some spare butter beans if you fancy growing some.
If you want some seeds pm me your address and I will pop some in the post.

Has anyone grown these in pots?? Would that work?

Yes, one plant per pot = three pots with a 6ft cane* in each. Tie canes into a wigwam for the beans to climb up. Terrific.

* I'm 5 foot tall, so I always "stop" my beans at a manageable height.

Two sheds, what size pot per plant?

Thanks, will do pots for beans to dry and in plot for beans to eat, or maybe other way round.... dither dither....
