Default Planting out runner beans?


"Alan Holmes" wrote ...

I started to plant out some runner beans which have been started in the
greenhouse, SWMBO has told me there may be frosts which will affect them.

Is it possible there will still be some frost, and what effect would it
have on the beans anyway?

The old gardeners always said don't put out anything tender 'till after
Chelsea and that still holds good even here. We had a grass frost on the 9th
June a few years back that killed a number of our cucurbits.
