Hi All,

I've only lived in Sydney three years and this is the first year I've
planted beans in the veggie patch. I have two varieties - purple king
climbing beans and yellow bush-form butter beans. Both varieties are
looking unhappy and burnt and aren't growing very much, which makes me
suspect that I planted them too late in the season.
Info:
I'm near Campbelltown (although tend to be a few degrees warmer than
C'town in winter and cooler than C'town in summer)
The beans went in as seeds about two months ago

Could someone with experience in growing beans in Sydney's western
burbs please tell me when the usual bean-planting time of year is so
that next year I can get it right.

There's a guy I have heard of called Jack, He's used to grow great
big beanstalks.

He had a friend with the nickname of "Giant"

Sorry, don't know if he's in Sydney at the moment though......

Thanks,
Tish
