Title: Bosnian Bush beans
Post by: Mrs Ava on June 27, 2005, 12:41:33
Have planted a dozen of these on a patch where spuds once lived.  My question is, have any of you grown these?  What can I expect??  How high will they grow???  (worrying now that I will need to go and buy more bamboos!)

No idea. But I'm a bit concerned there's a bean I've never even heard of, let alone eaten.

Where did they come from? (I know: Bosnia...)

Super, thank you Ruud  :-*.  However, now I have to go buy some bamboos to provide the poor things with some support!  ;D

Bean Ruud, you sent me bosnian peas also, but I haven't sown them yet...do you think it would be too late to sow some now?

I gave my beans some short bamboo stakes today to help them along, but looking at your piccy, they are short beans so they may be able to fend for themselves.

You are a star Ruud!  :-*

I think you can sow the peas as a late crop,here some volenteers are sowing there second ones,so have a try.
