Default Sewing between Runner beans

I don't have a big garden - so I want to make most of space. I will be growing
two rows of runner beans (Red Rum) - about 4ft apart coming up support poles to
an A apex.

I wonder - is there anything I could usefully grow in between the rows of
beans?

I realise that once the beans become really established - there is much foliage
and I suspect little direct sunlight getting through them to the ground between
the rows.


Any ideas?


You could try sowing some early lettuce / radish. With my eyesight it is
too dark to sew under runner beans.
