Runner Beans
 

Finally got around to putting them out a couple of days ago.
I've been trying to train them to climb up canes, ie., winding first couple
of turns for them.
Do they prefer anti or clockwise or don't they mind?

they only go one way which is anti clockwise as you look down at them. Best
not to twirl them until they're a bit longer though in case they snap off

If they are in an exposed location, **loosely** tie them to the canes to
prevent breakage in strong winds.
They will then twine up the canes of their own accord.
