Yard long beans
« on: September 11, 2009, 13:08:57 »
In flower, at last! Well, 3 flowers at the moment. Will there be any beans? When I started growing them I decided I would be happy with just one bean......... still keeping fingers crossed.

Mine failed again-second year running.

I wonder if they are worth the greenhouse space?

My `Cobra` climbing French beans grew pretty long and outside
