Plant them.  I have just sown another lot of french bean seeds so it will be a few weeks before they are 8 inches high!

Also planted the couple of pathetic blue lake seedlings that were the only ones that came up, and  tried direct sowing a few too.

French beans can still be sown up unitl Mid August I think as they do not need pollinaters they will continue to produce until the frost gets them.

We are still planting our French Beans out.  We thought we would  stagger them this year, as we couldn't keep up last year. So far looking good!   :) busy_lizzie
