Brilliant beans!
By Judith Thursby 23-09-2010
Sowed these in 2009 in containers in my tiny back garden - extremely prolific to the extent that I was giving the beans away to neighbours as too many for me to eat. This year had to sow them very late due to having broken my wrist and elbow (on the same arm), so much so that the beans only started appearing in the last 10 days or so but have had several meals of them so far and expect to have a few more despite autumnal weather coming upon us. The beans seemed to appear quicker on the plants than the runner beans I also planted, which was good.
Sowing Instructions
Sow mid April indoors or late April to July outdoors. Sow seed 4cm (1½in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 18-21C (65-70F} until after germination which takes 7-10 days. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed sufficiently, sow 15cm (6in) apart, 4cm (1½in) deep.
Growing Instructions
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all frost risk has passed. Grow as for Runner Beans and support with canes or netting. Hoe regularly and keep well watered especially when flowering. Mulch during dry periods.
Kitchen Notes
Freshly picked pods have the best flavour. Cooked pods Turn a rich green in colour and are delicious as a cold dish.
