Beans needing Heath Robinson solution
« on: August 13, 2020, 11:40 »
When you order dwarf French beans for a raised bed and you are sent the wrong plants    :D

I am not sure what they are or how tall they will grow. Is it possible to identify them by their flowers? The beans are slightly furry; does that make them runner beans?

 A bit like my dwarf coco bianco and purple queen beans  :lol: Not complaining about the crops from them though. We ate a lot of the coco bianco runner stylee and the purple ones are loaded with beans.

They look like ‘white lady’ runner beans to me.  I grow them every year, they are very good,  :D

They lok like runner beans. I sowed what I thought were climbing French beans only to find they were runners, the pods look exactly like yours.
