This evening I planted out 24 runner beans. As they are flopping about

give them the idea.
My question is: which way do they grow, clock or anti?

Like all plants they follow the light, i.e. the sun. Does that give you
any clues?


Must admit - I have never considered it like that (I am not sure that
it *is* the reason !! ) - but it is an excellent way to remember.

(Is it the reason?)

I doubt it, else why would some plants grow clockwise and others
anticlockwise?
