Our Feedback
I just want to say what marvellous beetroot and sprout plants you sent me. I have never got such good plants from other suppliers.
John Horne, Barnet
Do not plant out (without protection) until fear of frost has passed.
Supplied as compost block grown plants.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid MayA runner bean with a good habit, excellent flavour, stringless and an extended cropping season! These beans havevery fleshy pods which tend to be stringless if you pick them at a good size and don't let them get ridiculously long.
For the best of their flavour and sweetness we recommend that you pick when they are no longer than 6"- 8" (15 - 20 cm). These beans even persuaded Stephen that actually he did like runner beans - after years of not eating them!
Despite their long season you can grow these in tubs in a greenhouse to get you started even earlier!
Can be eaten in salads, or steamed and used as a vegetable, simply delicious.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
