I hope not because mine aren't in yet. The packet says to sow outdoors, mid April to mid July.
Grow your own and enjoy the fruits of your labours,
Regards Alan.

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

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.
