Curly dwarf beans
« on: June 26, 2009, 20:47 »
I'm growing, well, trying to grow, Tasman dwarf beans, which should produce "masses of smooth, straight .....pods"
Mine are now about 3 ins long, but they are all curling round.
Anybody got any idea what I'm doing wrong please.
Thanks
I started out with nothing.....and I've still got most of it.

The first ones often do this. It may be that when they touch a leaf or stem it makes them curl. Usually the later ones are straighter.

Wether they are curled or straight, they will still taste the same. :D

In this week's Amateur Gardening mag there's an article about stem eelworm causing bendy beans. If your beans are seriously bendy see if you can have a look at this article, and i'm not talking banana shaped beans i mean seriously bendy :ohmy: they look horrible :(

Thanks for the replies.
Mine are more like bananas, just curled round a bit.
They do taste good though, pulled one off and ate it there and then.
