Now is the time......
To get runner bean seeds into the ground, along with mid-season pea and end
of season broad bean. I wonder if we can get another sowing later in the year? I am going to give it a go. Nothing to lose(I keep seed). Good luck. Baz |

Visibility is too poor to see the Pennines and confirm if snow is lying. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

I sowed my runner beans today in pots in the greenhouse, in the hope that in 6 weeks time (end June) they may be able to chance it outside. 6 weeks from sowing to planting? |

I put my plants out yesterday, becayse they were getting too big for the conservatory. They won't like it, but I hope they will survive. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I put runner beans in in pots in greenhouse a week ago, no sign of life yet. French and dwarf beans have been in for a month or more, and are looking huge. Still scared to put them out (but mostly cos last year they all got slugged rather than the weather being the issue) |

I looked in vain for signs of life from my outdoor sowing in individual milkpot cloches.... and decided it's time to make an indoor back-up sowing :-( Fresh snow visible on the top of Goatfell.

In article , lid says... The gales blew all the blossom off our Nashi pear before it could germinate. No Nashi pears this year. Seeds germinate, blossom gets pollinated; (or not, as the case may be) If it's wet enough, blossoms germinate! Well not really of course, but last "summer" the seed pods towards the bottom of a hollyhock were germinating on the plant, while the top was still in flower. It was truly bizarre looking, almost like little green worms. -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

Still scared to put them out (but mostly cos last year they all got slugged rather than the weather being the issue) If you are growing dwarf French Beans then why not grow some on in large pots inside, That way you will have some early beans. I probably will. I may possibly put some in hanging baskets, too. Thing is I'm never really sure until after the summer fete how many of the plants are still 'mine' |

Nothing to lose(I keep seed). We have planted another crop of peas for September picking in previous years, we use "Early Onward" for both early and late crops. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.
