French beans

      The boss would like (wants) some french beans grown this year is it too late to start them off now?

I hope not because mine aren't in yet. The packet says to sow outdoors, mid April to mid July.

Sowed mine yesterday.  No, it's definitely not too late, I have always sown at the beginning of May.  Good luck.

don't forget French beans are annuals, and don't last the whole summer like runners (at least the dwarf ones don't). Plant some every month to get  a continuous crop into the autumn

and you can grow them up your sunflowers!

Hi Gordon,

I planted some last week and they are just breaking through the soil, except for one which is going to find a boy called jack.
