Not so much Broad as Limp!
« on: April 04, 2008, 12:20 »
Hmmm - might have left these indoors a little too long...

Should they be all droopy like that?

Shall I plant them out and stake them? Or tie them up to some netting?

I'm guessing a few nights in the greenhouse and then into the garden?


Good beer, good BBQ and good friends.

I would say they've been (no pun intended) inside far too long. Only hope is doing as you suggested.

To be honest, I would not consider growing inside, particularly to that height, something that can be sown direct in the ground to over winter.

If they fail, it's not too late to re-sow. (Outside!)
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

they're hardy so should be outside. You could give em a trim and plant them out  :D   Nothing ventured  :D

Mine were started inside, went into the mini greenhouse when they were less than half that height and are now on the plot. Get them hardened off asap and plant them out, rather than lose them.

I thought we sorted these beans out ages ago. :wink:
