Hi All
just joined, 1st posting
Anybody grown teenie beeny runner beans.
I would like to have some idea how high they grow.
searched the net but nothing found.
classed as Dwarf with short beans.
Phoned T & S but they said normal height but the experts were at Chelsea.
Just want to know how high the supports should be. :?

Hi Pedro sorry I can't help you on this one never grown this variety before, just thought I'd say welcome to the forums.

Welcome Pedro.

I think you mean T & M and I think you mean this bean....

They appear to be nicknamed 'teeny beeny' because of the size of the pod, not the plant. I would not term it a dwarf bean as it appears it needs the usual netting or canes. You'd probably need to go to at least 6' height. As you can see from the link, the plants are quite tall in relation to the bloke in the picture.
