Runner Beans and Sweet Peas
« on: May 03, 2009, 22:06 »
Evening one and all

I have a question regarding growing runners and sweet peas. I read the article from Munty, which I am very interested in attempting (this is my 1st year growing).

My question is; could I grow runners and sweet peas on the same trellis? or would i get cross pollination (Sweet Beans and Runner Peas :tongue2:)????

You only need to worry about cross-pollination if you're going to keep the seeds for next year - I've never had a problem but then again I've never saved seed
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Don't think that peas and beans can cross pollinate.
The sweet peas are just to attract the bees :)

Im going to grow runner beans and sweet peas on the same trellis this year.  Grew far too many beans last year, so thought the sweet peas would be a lovely way of getting some cut  flowers, so as far as I am aware there would be no probs
