When will you sow Runner Beans this year assuming that sometime in the
next 3 months the temperature will reach 60 degrees?

I normally do them straight in the ground when it's warm enough, but
after last year's disaster I've started them up in modules to transplant
out once they're big enough to survive.

(Last year I did 7 or 8 sewings, both from greenhouse-started and
straight in the ground, and every night the bloody slugs munched the
lot. Same with the courgettes and butternuts. It was a baaaad year)

We have had a hedgehog visiting the garden during the
day time last week, not seen him since the snow!
Hopefully he will keep the slugs at bay this year!

No hedgehogs should ever be out during the day. Read this:
