  • Anyone NOT sown there runner/borlotti beans yet?

    I've sown all my Frenchies but totally forgot about the runners/borlotti and butter beans!
    Intend sowing them direct at the weekend.........am I wasting my time?

    I usually have an early sowing,middle sowing and then another in the first few days of July

        My frenchies (Cobra) are ready to go out, but I forgot to buy runners. Found some on the plot this week from last year's planting so I am sowing them this weekend.

          I've not sown the majority of mine, good thing too with the weather we've had.

          Sowing direct this weekend.

            We are doing our second sowing this weekend! ( most of the first lot failed due to the heavy frosts and then the drought/heatwave)

              *most* of my beans take 3 months from seed to plate, but I found borlotti & butter beans to need a longer season. Give it a go though, we may have another hot dry September this year
