Runner Bean Management
When runner beans reach the top of their supports should they be 'nipped
off' to, possibly, encourage more 'sprouts' to form lower down ? Or should the growing tip be 'nipped' before it reaches the top ? Or, as i have done in previous years, should they just be allowed to continue growing and to flop where they may ! ? |

They should be nipped when they reach the top or just before as they seem to keep going for a while |

Thanks Robert, Nick.
So, no difference in time of earliest crop or of maximum crop ? ( not that the latter is terribly important really, we usually get [eventually] more than we can eat/freeze ! ) |
