Nice flowers Donn but I'm not sure the beans are so good for eating as some of the modern varieties of Runner Beans. I grow Painted Lady (up the side of a garage in Reading) and the only fault I've found's the shape of the flowers. They're even herbaceous in a reasonably mild winter. I'm waiting to see if the roots survived last winter, though I've sown some seed too. With all Runner Beans, if you treat the roots like Dahlias, dig them up and store them over winter, they will grow again. Left in the ground a hard winter will kill them. We have tried Painted Lady in the past but found them course compared to, say, White Lady or Fergie. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
