Evening all,

I was planting out my climbing french beans today and two questions struck me, hope someone knows the answers  :roll:

1. The beans are rather leggy and some of their stems have bent over.  will they recover / regrow / resprout or have they really had it?

2. I am growing them up canes in a row.  I sowed one plant per cane (probably about 12-15" apart).  Should I have planted two plants per cane (depending on how many will live after question one is answered)  :?:

Ta peeps.

If you have some spares plant them on other side off the cane to be on safe side or bung in a seed.

Legginess depends on how they have been kept until now.  My guess is that they will be fine now they are outside.  I also would plant two per cane.  I grew them last year.

1 - don't know, depends, why they are bent, if only for leggy, they should come around

2 - I do put 2 a cane and my canes are a bit closer

Thanks all,

A second seed will go in pronto (well, maybe tomorrow   )

I started a few Dwarf French Beans in pots in the Cons and am going to plant out tomorrow along with more beans. Do I need to support them with something, they don't look strong enough otherwise.
Planted my toms out yesterday too, cross your fingers for me!!!!

I supported my dwarf beans by tying to small canes last year
