I'm getting concerned that nothing I plant will grow!(:-(

Have you tried talking to them? Recommended by royalty!

I knew I was doing something wrong, but I doubt that I would have right
accent!(:-(

You have to be 'posh' don't you?

I talk to my fig tree and I'm not posh, Alan.

Runner beans are the most hideous foodstuff known to man :-) Can't
understand how anyone could eat them! Pray they don't germinate
and
sow a nice alternative instead?? ...

Try picking them younger :-) They start off rough and dark green,
and lighten as they get older, and they should be picked BEFORE
they
do that. Typically not more than 6" long.

I agree that older runner beans are not worth eating, though they
are good as dried beans.


It's no use Nick! This inbuilt prejudice took years to develop! I
often have the tender ones in a salad but not if I prepare it
myself!

As far as I'm concerned the only good seed is still in a packet.

I'll have to have another go sometime. Maybe I'll leave a single
4ft row space for next year :-)

Perhaps you used the wrong variety originally?
We rather like "White Lady" as it is always tender.


Oh go on Bob, I'll give it a go :-)
