Dwarf Bush Bean - Tendercrop
Since dinosaurs roamed the earth I have been growing runner beans and
collecting some seed at the end of the season for the following year. I have no idea what variety they were as I had inherited them from my aunt who in turn had inherited them from her husband, great uncle Victor, who I might have mentioned before. Anyway I feel I have let the family down a bit as a couple of years ago my collected seed of ancient lineage just stopped germinating and thus died out. This year I have tried some dwarf bush beans instead (saves all that rigmarole putting up the canes) but there is little information on the packet, just when to sow, a paragraph about what excellent meaty, stringless beans they are and a load of waffle in some eastern european language. I don't remember where I got the seed from (probably Lidl or some other pikey shop).I went into the greenhouse this morning and hey presto my beans had managed 100% germination! Does anybody have any experience of these beans? Are they any good? Any tips on how to maximise the crop? |

Not this specific variety, but presumably they are a form of French bean. |
