In a moment of mindlessness I started runner beans far too early. They
are now, of course, far too big, and can't be planted out till the end

If I pinch out the tops, will the resulting side shoots develop into
tall twiners, or will the plants simply remain bushy?



Bugger! Ours are out already and clambering up the poles! (SE Kent)

Too early? Really?
