Dwarf runner beans (Hestia)
« on: May 24, 2008, 22:26 »
Not a big runner bean fan but thought i would try a few dwarfies in pots for spots of colour around the estate (!)
Question is how many to a pot? Now my guess would be one to a 1' wide pot and to get it bushy nip it out.

Or am i way off the mark?
It's a fine line between hobby and mental illness.

I think it would be a bit lonesome.

In a 1' pot I'd put at least 4 plants. They would also help to support each other.

But I could be way off the mark!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

This is my first time growing them too, but have several of them 3 to a pot. They're doing fine, and lots of room for each.
From what I've gleaned looking about, 3 - 4 in a 12" pot/bucket seems the 'done thing'  :wink:

I love runner beans- especially if they squeek when you eat them :!:
There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory, the other two I forget.
