Runner Bean : White Lady
Vegetable
- Crops in : 65 Days
- Ideal for : Children
Description
A premier variety in every way. The pure white flowers of Runner Bean White Lady are less prone to being picked by birds, so the resulting crop is much greater. Plus, Runner Bean White Lady sets better than any other when it comes to high temperatures. The long, mid green pods with white seeds hang in numerous clusters, and are both smooth and stringless. The result is a delicious vegetable which can be sliced or eaten whole with a garnish of butter.

brilliant
By wendy addison 19-08-2011
these beans are brilliant, iv'e never had so many, the birds leave the flowers alone, so that gave us loads of beans, and still picking, glad ive found these, will grow again next year.
Attractive good cropper
By G Tasker 24-05-2011
This variety seemed a bit slower to germinate than my old favourite streamline, but they soon caught up and I ended up picking beans by the handful. The white flowers are very attractive and the birds did seem to pay them less attention, which was the main reason I tried them. I would grow these again.
Sowing Instructions
Prefers to be grown in fertile, moist yet well drained soil which has had plenty of well rotted compost dug into it the previous autumn. For an early start sow seeds from mid spring in artificial heat (propagator, greenhouse, warm room) in peat pots and plant out after last expected frost. Outdoors do not sow until at least 10 days after last frost, 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2 seeds every 30cm (12in) in rows 38cm (15in) apart.
Growing Instructions
Remove weaker seedlings after germination. Make sure your soil is warm and avoid it becoming baked hard. Water regularly and liquid feed every 14 days during mid summer.
Aftercare
A thick mulch will help conserve moisture. Pick the beans regularly a little on the young side to ensure top quality and prolonged cropping.

Kitchen Notes
