Beans

Hi,

Just wondering if people had started their beans off yet, I'm holding fire for now, but wondering whether others had started their French or runner beans as yet?

I'm starting off those very same beans this afternoon!

Yeah I'm thinking along the same lines, 3 weeks'ish to get to plant�able size puts us in mid-May - In the south where I am it should be warm enough by then.

Trouble is I've run out of compost now and have no intention of sneaking to the shops to get any.

Mine are just popping up now in modules, some purple climbing french beans and some dwarf bush. If weather looks dodgy when they need planting, I�ll just pot them up and hold fire for a week or two.

Mine are staying firmly in their packets until end of the first week in May here in Yorkshire. I won't plant them out until the first week in June.

Well I decided to try some early ones so have 8 of 2 varieties sown a few weeks ago and ready to go out really - think I'll give them a go outside with some fleece on them and see what happens, and then sow another set next week. Am in London so not expecting frost again (but who knows) but it's not boiling overnight either!
