Default Runner Beans

The message
from "wafflycat" contains these words:

Mine have been out for a couple of weeks... they are thriving here in
mid-Norfolk. I sowed mine in paper pots filled with compost and had them on
a sunny windowsill for germination. I just kept the compost moist and up
they popped. indeed they were getting on for a foot tall when I
planted them
out. I kept putting it off and putting it off.. but they just kept on
growing. So I keep an eye on the temperature for risk of frost. So far.. so
good. But I do have a few ready to pop out if Mother Nature decides to kick
me up the backside and teach me a lesson...


You'd do well to buy a length of fleece...
