To maximise crop is it best to pinch out runner beans when they reach
the top of their poles, or leave them to sort themselves out?

I always pinch them out at about eye height, they will carry on growing
for about another three feet!


Sigh, now you tell me! LOL Never mind there is always next year, if I
remember.


We obviously have something in common, I always have trouble remembering
things!


Nothing wrong with your memory, Alan, it's as good as mine.

The retrieval system, however, sometimes fails.


I have, for some time, been pestering the doctor for a memory transplant but
he has not been forthcoming!
