Well having heard they were self fertile I did one set very early and the results were poor. I was very disappointed by the rest during the hot weather the flowers fell off with all the other varieties, St George managed a few odd beans.
But then come August the moon came out. The flowers covered the plants, more and more and more, and now the beans are simply dripping off. I have bucket loads of them.
This is rather disappointingly not the hot weather runner bean but as a slightly late cool weather bean it had been for me magnificent.
