I put my runners, borlotti and french climbing beans in to loo rolls to grow in a heated proagator. They grew very quickly and I didn't get them out of it quick enough so they are now about 10" tall in only a week, are they still viable do you think or should I bin them and start again? ???
Done that before, I would plant them but tie them up to support them, also sow a seed at the side of each one as a back up that way you have covered all bases.
Ten inches in a week?? Mine only germinated in a week!!

I know it seems a lot but it is about that amount! I put a couple others in an unheated propagator and they have only just germinated.
They're OK, but it's too early to plant them out so they might do better somewhere a bit cooler, if only to slow them down.

thanks Robert I thought the same about cooler, they are now much better in a cooler place. Glad they'll be ok though!
