HOW TO SOW: 

Runer beans are hungry plants so the ground should be well prepared with manure in the autumn before planting.


April - Sow in pots - Sow 3-4  seeds per 10cm pot  filled with damp compost. Cover with 5cm of soil. Ideal temp 16-20°C.  Grow on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed, then harden off before transplating out into final cropping location.


May Onwards - Sow direct after risk of frost has passed and soil is warmed - into drills or a circle (for a wigwam) 5cm deep in a prepared seed bed to 20cm spacing

For the best crops space canes 30cm appart and plant 3 beans per cane.
