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? mark |

Best not to twirl them until they're a bit longer though in case they snap off -- Rowdens Reservoir Allotments Association www.rraa.moonfruit.com Feed the soil, save the planet |

They will then twine up the canes of their own accord. Phil |
