Default Lablab beans

I tried these. What a waste of effort. The instructions said that
they needed a long growing season, so I planted them in February
indoors. They grew rapidly into healthy 3-4" plants, and then
sat there. Until midsummer, when they started upwards. I planted
them out and they have grown well to very strong plants 8' high.

Of course, they haven't actually flowered yet ....

Has anyone else had any success with those jokers?

Nick Maclaren.

They flower here and flower well in Tresco. I've never seen anyone
growing them for the beans, though.
